GIANT SUNSPOT ALERT: A few days ago, sunspot 4366 didn't exist. Now it is a behemoth almost half the size of Carrington's sunspot. Rapid growth is making the sunspot unstable. Indeed, it has already unleashed dozens of solar flares in the past 24 hours, including a tremendous X8-class flare described below. More explosions are almost certain on Feb. 2nd...

X8-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Giant sunspot 4366 is a solar flare factory. In the past 24 hours, it has produced 17 M-class solar flares and 3 X-class flares. The most intense so far was yesterday's X8-class flare, shown here in a movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:

Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere. This, in turn, caused a shortwave radio blackout across the South Pacific Ocean: blackout map. Ham radio operators in Australia and New Zealand may have experienced loss of signal below 30 MHz for hours after the flare's peak.

Of greater interest is the CME--if there is one. The explosion hurled a lot of dense, dark plasma into space. That material may have formed the core of an Earth-directed CME. Confirmation awaits fresh data from NOAA and SOHO coronagraphs. Stay tuned.
