It's fucking AMAZINGGGG.
It's huuuuuuge.
Got a weird little dot in the middle too...
Interesting.
This one is popcorn worthy.
It kind of looks like a hurricane/cyclone.
A storm indeed.
It will be a real nail biter til it's disappeared past the 4 o'clock mark on the solar disc...
IMO.
Can't say I've seen a sunspot that huge in a hot minute... surprised it's not being discussed more, it's remarkable.
Do you think it's a wormhole?
I personally don't think so, but how could I say for sure? It very well may be.
Dude holy crap, this sunspot coming around at 10 o'clock looks even bigger than AR3363...

I don't think there's necessarily a ton of correlation between the size of the sunspot and X class flare capability...
Still always amazing to see these huge sunspots though, solar cycle 25 is absolutely fabulous so far.
Solar cycle 25 is supposed to be the last cycle before TEOTWAWKI in cycle 26, according to Diehold Foundation.
I dunno if I believe that, but I do find it interesting as a microcosm of the alleged 26,000 year cycle of destruction.

Some of them look mostly normal now... still cutting off the image in certain spots but it looks like they're done with the adjustments. What the heck??
Something weird is going down.
AR3372 makes AR3363 look normal...
We've still got a few days to go on 3363 so... it's just a high activity time for sunspots, I think the chances of X class flares are pretty substantial from what we're seeing on the solar disc right now.
There's not a ton of filament activity with 3363, which makes it less dangerous...

As you can see though, there's a lot of filament activity around 3372 which leads me to believe it's a bigger threat than 3363 is even though technically 3363 is larger.
3372 may be slightly larger actually... dunno, it's too early to tell at this point.
3372 = snap, crackle, pop.
Solar cycle 25 is about to be historical.
I just wonder how it's gonna compare to the height of solar cycle 23 (Oct. 2003)...

I mean we're seeing some pretty epic and comparable activity already and we're not even to the good shit yet.
