Sunspot set to burst and fling solar flare ‘directly’ at Earth ‘causing storm’

Posted by in category: space

SPACE weather experts are keeping a close eye on an “enormous sunspot” that’s doubled in size in the past 24 hours.

The unstable patch on the solar surface is directly facing Earth so if it bursts it could fling solar flares our way.

A solar flare isn’t expected to hit yet but it could be possible if the sunspot continues to grow and behave in an unstable manner.
