Wednesday 22 June 2022 10:05 PM Sunspot THREE TIMES the size of Earth is facing directly at our planet trends now
A dark sunspot that is facing directly toward Earth doubled in size in just a 24-hour period and could possibly send out medium-class flares in the near future.
Tony Phillips, the author of SpaceWeather.com, wrote on Wednesday: ‘Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it's enormous.’
And it is now said to measure three times the size of Earth.
Not only is sunspot AR30398 looking directly at our planet, but it also has an unstable beta-gamma magnetic field that is harboring enough energy to cause brief radio blackouts.

Sunspots are dark regions of the Sun where it is cooler than other parts of the surface. Solar flares originate close to these dark areas of the star.
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections come from these regions, and when they explode in the direction of Earth, they can result in geomagnetic storms that produce beautiful auroras, as well as pose a danger to power grids and satellites.
AR3038 is without a doubt a large sunspot - a beachgoer in New Jerseys spotted it on the sun as it rose over the Atlantic Ocean.
A pair of massive sunspot swarms, some large enough to devour the Earth whole, appeared on the surface of the sun in April.

Dubbed AR2993 and AR2994, the two active regions sent scientists into a
