Violent Sunspot Group AR 1302 Unleashes a Flare

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

One of the most active sunspot groups in years is currently crossing the Sun. AR 1302 is so large it can be seen without a telescope. Coronal Mass Ejections from AR 1302 have already caused strong geomagnetic storms and notable aurora activity. Plasma was left magnetically hanging above the Sun's surface after AR 1302 emitted an X-class solar flare.
