Showing Original Post only (View all)Want to see the sunspots that sparked today's severe geomagnetic storm? [View all]
I took the photo at 12:40 today. The large spotty area at center/right is sunspot AR3615; the spot above it and to the right is AR3614. The two sunspots exploded in tandem yesterday, directing an X-class solar flare at Earth which sparked today's severe geomagnetic storm. X-class flares can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.

Is it any wonder that Klingons say the USS Enterprise is designed like a garbage scow?
