Sunspot 1087 is turning towards I-Earth and this sunspot is ready to party.

As you can see from the little I-Earth in the corner of the photo, Sunspot 1087 is massive and is large enough to swallow 10 I-Earths and still have some room for perhaps a Venus, Mars, Mercury, and 1/2 of Jupiter.

This sunspot has a “beta delta” magnetic field that contains enough energy for “M” class solar flares. “M” class flares have the power to “heat and puff up Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing satellites to experience extra drag as they orbit our planet; they can also cause waves of ionization to ripple around the planet, disrupting radio communications.” NOAA forecasters are predicting we have a 10% chance of getting some M class flare blowback from 1087 within the next 24 hours.
