"GROWING FLARE THREAT: Active region 9393 (aka 9433) continues to grow and
now covers an area equivalent to more than six planet Earths. The big spot has a
twisted beta-gamma-delta magnetic field that likely harbors energy for X-class solar
flares. Three weeks ago sunspot 9393 unleashed the most powerful solar flare ever
recorded. That's unlikely to happen a second time, but the active region nevertheless
bears watching."
According to their diagram it's currently pointing right towards Earth. Another good
flare-up would be quite spectacular :)
Cheers,
