I'm keeping a close eye on the sunspot situation.


Seems to be two mid-sized regions coming from the SW limb. Hopefully their complexity proves to be simple as the larger spot grows or shrinks in the coming days.

It has been somewhat quiet, no X flares just yet.

Yea it does seem like 1476 is gearing up for a larger flare. If you compare 1476 to 1429 (created two x-flares in March), you can see a sort of sawtooth pattern between the two. In 1429's case, this sawtooth preceded the x5.4 flare.

Sunspot 1429: March 7th, 2012




Sunspot 1476: May 11th, 2012




I think we might see a large flare fairly soon, but that's just a layman's observation.

I went out earlier today with my binoculars and welders glass. I just wanted to see that sunspot for myself.

Crazy! Was almost in the middle of Sol. Going to look at sunset too. Try it if you have good vision and welders glass, you can probably see it with your naked eye. I have bad eyesight and had to use my little opera binocs along with my glasss. .
