AR4566 Has Doubled in Size!

On 11/08/2026 10:33 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

Unstable sunspot AR4566 has doubled in size this weekend, and it is directly facing Earth. With a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field, it harbors energy for strong explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-class solar flares and a 20% chance of X-flares on Nov. 8th. As reported by Spaceweather.com and seen by me through clear skies.
