BIG SUNSPOT FACES EARTH: Colossal sunspot AR1785 is now directly facing Earth. http://spaceweather.com/gallery/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=84121

The active region has a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class flares, yet so far the sunspot has been mostly quiet. Could it be the calm before the storm? http://spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html?PHPSESSID=9pra429e034s7lr1f8djo55j42

NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on July 8th

Sprawling more than 11 Earth-diameters from end to end, AR1785 is one of the biggest sunspots of the current solar cycle.

The largest X-Ray event within the past 24 hours was an impulsive C6.1 flare around Sunspot 1785 at 00:58 UTC.

To take the picture, Viladrich used a filtered 14-inch Celestron telescope. All those irregular blobs surrounding the primary dark core are boiling granules of plasma as small as the state of California or Texas. It’s a very sharp picture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granule_%28solar_physics%29
