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.
