SPACE-SOLAR-FLARES
This NASA image obtained October 21, 2010 shows a fast-growing sunspot 1112, crackling with solar flares. So far, none of the blasts has hurled a substantial CME, or coronal mass ejection, toward Earth. In addition, a vast filament of magnetism is cutting across the sun's southern hemisphere. This filament is so large it spans a distance greater than the separation of Earth and the moon. A bright 'hot spot' just north of the filament's midpoint is UV radiation from sunspot 1112. The proximity is no coincidence; the filament appears to be rooted in the flares, it could cause the entire structure to erupt. Thus far, none of the flares has destabilized the filament.
