"AR1654 is getting bigger as it turns toward Earth," the website reported. "Not only is the chance of flares increasing, but also the chance of an Earth-directed eruption. This could be the sunspot that breaks the recent lengthy spell of calm space weather around our planet."
According to Spaceweather.com [1], sunspot AR1654 is growing more active and is now "crackling with M-class solar flares" like the one that erupted today.
The surface of the sun erupted in a solar flare early Friday, unleashing a blast of super-heated plasma into space.
