>A massive sunspot has just appeared on the East limb of the Sun. I have
>attached a picture of it in this e-mail, for your interest. The surface of
>this spot is more than 7 times the entire surface area of the Earth, and it
>has a complex magnetic field that makes it ripe for an X-Class solar flare.
>Since it is on the Eastward limb and rotating more directly into view, any
>eruption would likely be directed toward the Earth.
