The sun is going to explode, we are doomed... Now Playing at the Star Nearest You: A Really Big Sunspot A huge sunspot, 13 times larger than the surface area of the Earth and growing, has now rotated with the Sun to face our planet. The sunspot, which is the largest of the current solar cycle, is also the largest to appear in a decade. This area of the sun has generated a storm of solar activity, most recently a very potent solar eruption on March 29 that may cause auroral displays and magnetic storm activity when it impacts the Earth's magnetic field this weekend. Solar magnetic storms are occasionally harmful, potentially affecting satellites, radio communications and power systems. More information about the effect of solar activity on Earth is available on the Spaceweather web site. ( Full Story) (3/30/01) nasa.gov
