Giant Sunspot Facing the Earth – AR1944 is One of the Largest Sunspots of the Current Solar Cycle

(Before It's News)

GIANT SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR1944, which appeared on January 1st, is one of the largest sunspots of the current solar cycle.
The active region continues to rotate into a more geoeffective position, has a complex Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration, and spans the size of over 1000 millionths.

Although the sunspot has been relatively quiet and stable since it first appeared on New Year’s Day, a region of this size has the potential to produce significant activity. Indeed, NOAA forecasters, who say they are keeping a close eye on this behemoth, estimate a 75% chance of M-flares and a 30% chance of X-flares on Jan. 4th.
