The huge sunspot has increased to 200 thousand kilometers. Tomorrow, May 12, there will be high solar activity

NASA is observing the giant sunspot AR3664, which continues to grow. Now this area of ​​increased activity is 15 times the size of our planet and continues to grow, writes Space com.

🔍 AR3664 has already become so gigantic that it can be seen from Earth even without special equipment, using only dark glasses to observe the solar eclipse.

🔍 Very active explosive energy release processes (solar flares) and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occur on the surface of a sunspot.

🔍 These powerful bursts of energy into space can reach Earth and cause widespread power outages, interfere with radio communications and navigation signals, disable satellites, and cause enhanced aurora displays.

‼️ NASA expects high solar activity to occur today and tomorrow. All weather dependent people should take care of themselves.

📹 VideoFromSpace/Time Lapse was created based on three days of observations of the surface of the Sun, making it possible to understand how quickly the sunspot evolves.
