The Current Sunspot is the Size of the X45 Carrington Sunspot "The image shows Carrington's drawing of the 1859 sunspot inserted to scale on a Dec. 2, 2025, image of sunspot complex 4294-4296. They're about the same size. The surface area of Carrington's sunspot was ~2300 millionths of the solar disk. The surface area of 4294-4296 is 2080 millionths, about 90% as large."
From AI Sunspots affect people primarily through increased solar activity, which raises levels of solar flares and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. This can cause subtle physiological changes such as slight increases in body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate, usually peaking months after the solar sunspot maximum. UVB radiation also activates viruses like HPV and suppresses immune defenses, potentially contributing to seasonal variations in certain diseases or health conditions. These effects are generally mild and require precise medical measurements to detect, so they do not warrant panic but show a measurable influence on human physiology over solar cycles.Additionally, solar activity and related geomagnetic disturbances can impact more vulnerable individuals, such as those with mental or physical illnesses, increasing symptoms or stress responses. There is also evidence suggesting disruption of circadian rhythms and hormonal cycles linked to sunspot cycles, which may affect inflammation, fatigue, and general wellbeing in some people. However, the direct impact on healthy individuals tends to be minor and indirect, mainly influencing disease incidence or physiological states rather than causing acute health problems.
