how many times have "end of the world" sunspots formed in the past only to fizzle out into nothing?

Did we get it figured out how long we have after it leaves the sun? Those decimal points are tough.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 8 minutes That's light. Not CME's. "The fastest Earth-directed CMEs can reach our planet in as little as 15-18 hours. Slower CMEs can take several days to arrive. They expand in size as they propagate away from the Sun and larger CMEs can reach a size comprising nearly a quarter of the space between Earth and the Sun by the time it reaches our planet." |

Quoted: https://www.livescience.com/doubling-sunspot-pointed-right-at-earth The sunspot, called AR3038, grew to 2.5 times Earth's size — making the sunspot roughly 19,800 miles, or 31,900 kilometers, in diameter — from Sunday (June 19) to Monday night (June 20), according to Spaceweather.com, a website that tracks news about solar flares, geomagnetic storms and other cosmic weather events. Sunspots are dark patches on the sun's surface where powerful magnetic fields, created by the flow of electric charges from the sun's plasma, knot before suddenly snapping. The resulting release of energy launches bursts of radiation called solar flares and generates explosive jets of solar material called coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Well unless the sun has suddenly stopped turning, it's not pointing at us anymore, call me in 27 days when it's pointing at us again. |

Anybody ready for another conspiracy theory? Stanford's Solar Dynamics Observatory isn't reporting data due to a power outage from wild fires.

June 22, 2022 @ 22:00 UTC Updated solar imagery courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is currently unavailable due to a widespread power outage. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. "HMI and AIA data are temporarily unavailable. A widespread power outage has closed the Stanford campus that hosts the SDO Data Center." SOURCE Yay! Just in time for Field Day! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The sun acts like a spinning fluid, like Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus. It spins, not at the same speed at all latitudes but it spins on it's axis like Earth does. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What? It spins, not at the same speed at all latitudes but it spins on it's axis like Earth does. It also spins very slowly. Combined with Earth's orbital speed the Sun's apparent rotation period is about 28 days. It's probably the most spherical natural object in the solar system. |
