| A huge pickup in x-ray background and flares in the past 24 hrs. A factor of 1000 increase in energy. Biggest so far is a M2.5 flare after a very low period. I wonder how the earth will react? Could we see another major quake?  A big new sunspot is rapidly emerging in the sun's northern hemisphere. Rogerio Marcon sends this picture taken just hours ago from his backyard observatory in Campinas, Brasil:  The active region is crackling with solar flares. The strongest so far is an M2-class eruption at 1900 UT on Feb. 6th. (See the movie from NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft.) Each of the spot's dark cores is about twice as wide as Earth, which makes it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. Stay tuned for solar activity!   |
