BIG EARTH-FACING SUNSPOT: Growing sunspot AR3315 is now 10 times wider than Earth.
It’s big and dangerous. The sunspot has a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-class solar flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on May 29th. Any eruptions will be geoeffective because the sunspot is almost directly facing Earth.
