Date Posted: 08:41:03 05/13/12 Sun Sunspot AR1476, which is so large that NASA scientists are calling it a “monster,” has rotated around the sun and is about to put Earth in its crosshairs. Sunspot AR1476, which was first spotted by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory this past weekend, is so big that it has been visible without the aid of solar telescopes. Consisting of at least four dark cores, each of which is larger than the Earth, AR1476 measures more than 60,000 miles across. The gigantic sunspot can be seen at sunrise and sunset when the light of the low-hanging sun is somewhat dimmed to human visibility. http://www.gcnlive.com/wp/2012/05/11/barb-adams-monster-sunspot-turns-towards-earth/ --------------------------------------------------- Oho! If the Sun ejects a large X class flare when facing earth we will have problems! How it will effect markets I don't know... but I've notice in the past, if markets are in a down trend it accentuates the drop with a steeper down move a day or two after the ejection.
