There's a storm brewing on the sun's surface and it could unleash its magnetic fury on Earth within the next five days.
That ominous warning comes from solar scientists at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center who are tracking a huge group of sunspots that are slowly rotating to face our planet. As imaged by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
in Friday, this is the largest group of sunspots seen on the sun since
2005. The largest sunspot (pictured above) is 17-times the width of the
Earth. a risky
game of (solar) Russian Roulette.
