Will it cause an unprecedented solar storm? Find out. As the Sun nears its solar maximum, the peak of its solar activity, it is behaving in a far erratic manner. Last week it was observed that as many as 32 coronal mass ejection (CME) incidents took place, which is far higher than anything we have seen in recent times. And today, two sunspots on the far side of the Sun have been detected which are so large that it is affecting the entire gas giant. Due to the huge area of spread and strong electromagnetic fields, the Sun's vibration itsel...

Shocking! Sunspot grows 10 times its size! Giant G5 class solar storm coming for Earth?

[ad_1] A new sunspot, AR3085, has been spotted by scientists. Worryingly, this sunspot has grown ten times its size in just two days. Will this spell a disaster for Earth with a G5 class solar storm? Find out. It seems that the Sun is regaining its violent demeanor after a week of low activity. Even as the Sun is moving towards the peak of its solar cycle, the solar activity was surprisingly low the previous week.
