Through thin clouds this morning, we see on the solar disk four numbered sunspots, and that New sunspot 4549 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares.
Spaceweather.com reports: New sunspot 4549 is growing rapidly (it didn't even exist yesterday), and it has developed an unstable magnetic field that harbors energy for X-flares. Any explosions today will be geoeffective as the sunspot is directly facing Earth.
