Giant Sunspot With More Than A Dozen Dark Cores Scattered Across 350,000 Km Of Solar Terrain

GIANT Sunspot With More than a Dozen Dark Cores Scattered Across 350,000 km of Solar "Terrain."

http://spaceweather.com/ - SPRAWLING SUNSPOT, CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR1897 has evolved into a sprawling archipelago of magnetic islands with more than a dozen dark cores scattered across 350,000 km of solar "terrain." This complex region has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares, and it is directly facing Earth: Any eruptions from AR1897 this weekend would likely be geoeffective. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-class solar flares and a 15% chance of X-flares on Nov. 17th.
