Colossal Sunspot Threatening Earth with Solar Flares
A colossal sunspot on the sun's surface poses a threat of causing widespread disruption on Earth due to powerful X-class solar flares, leading to geomagnetic storms that can impact satellite operations, communications, power grid, and navigation systems. The U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch. Despite disruptions, geomagnetic storms can produce stunning auroras visible to millions of Americans.
