Scientists have discovered two massive sunspots on the far side of the Sun. They're so large they're changing how the sun vibrates.
Scientists have discovered two massive sunspots so big that they could change how the Sun vibrates. The sunspots in question are currently on our star’s far side. However, they will soon rotate into view, and if they erupt while facing the Earth, we could find ourselves dealing with massive solar flares or coronal mass ejections.NASA photo captures new sunspots and solar flares on the Sun.
Massive sunspots like these form on the Sun at places where magnetic fields on the star are overly strong. These dark blotches, as they appear when observing them, are often cooler than the surrounding areas. That’s because these magnetic fields prevent the heat from reaching the surface, causing the sunspot to form.
However, when sunspots become too large, they often erupt, sending out a solar flare or coronal mass ejection . These events can cause significant space weather effects, including global magnetic storms if they hit the Earth. The discovery of these two massive sunspots is notable because they could cause quite a ruckus if they erupt while facing the Earth.leading to stellar energy being ejected 2.2 million miles into space.
