> Sunspot 484, which first appeared this past weekend, has grown into
one of
> the biggest sunspots in years. Now about the size of the planet
Jupiter,
> it's easy to see. But never look directly at the sun! Visit
> Spaceweather.com for safe solar observing tips.
>
> Meanwhile, say forecasters, another big sunspot could soon appear near
the
> sun's southeastern limb. The active region is not yet directly
visible,
> but the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has seen material
being
> blasted over the sun's limb from the approaching spot.
>
> Major eruptions are possible from these active regions as they rotate
> across the face of the sun over the next two weeks.
