And now it can be seen with the naked eye.
Astronomers removed the video shows a huge sunspot, which is seven times wider than the Earth. It appeared on Monday, June 26, and will disappear on Sunday, July 2.
Since its formation, the spot, designated as AR3354, has grown noticeably and now anyone can see it. Now it is just directed towards our planet. But it is better to observe in sunglasses so as not to harm your eyes.
Physicist Keith Strong notedthat if the growth rate continues at the current pace, then in the near future earthlings will even be able to see flashes from it. He has already managed to capture one of them with the help of special equipment. He deliberately slowed down the video so that you could better see all the details of this phenomenon.
sunspots are the result of exposure to a strong magnetic field and occur when the temperature drops sharply in certain parts of the Sun. Often they lead to outbreaks, whose power is sometimes equal to the explosion of millions of hydrogen bombs. However, this does not pose a danger to the Earth to a greater extent.
