l'enfant terrible

huge AR4366 has gone wild! In a life span of no more than 3-4 days is has grown so big as to be observable with protected eye alone and its highly complex and unstable magnetic field has shoot an 8.1 X-class flare today afternoon been followed 40 minutes later by another X-class, this time an 2.8. Was hoping for action, but this overshoot my wishes by an order of magnitude at least!
