HUGE sunspot emerges on the Sun, warns NASA; Will it pose a solar storm threat?

[ad_1] A massive sunspot has been spotted on the Sun, reveals NASA. There is a risk that it can explode and send a powerful solar storm towards the Earth. All throughout the month of November, the Earth had to endure the ordeals of a large number of solar storms. Luckily, these disturbances from the Sun were not too powerful and did not cause much damage. However, that might soon change. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a satellite which has been tasked with observing the Sun, has observed a frightening development. A big sunspot has emerged on the Sun which can explode and cause a powerful solar storm on Earth. If such a large sunspot exploded, the resultant solar storm can have catastrophic consequences. Read on to know whether we should be worried or not.The recent develo...

Two HUGE sunspots are changing the way Sun vibrates; Is a dangerous solar storm coming?

[ad_1] Two new sunspots have been detected on the far-side of the Sun. These are so large that they are changing the way the Sun vibrates. One of them is going to face the Earth in two days. 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...
