Sunspot 1429 will point to the Earth


Sunspot 1429, causing intense solar storms that occurred earlier this month, comes back on Thursday in the face of the Sun which is oriented toward the Earth, as reported by the Space Weather Observatory.
Experts have explained that "it is unusual for an active region has been the source of so many and such high solar activity is able to maintain much of its integrity and effective capacity after full rotation of the Sun's far side" of there has been a surprise this 'return'.
In response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has begun warning of possible new large flares, which could reach the category M (second strongest), from Thursday. But has appealed to the tranquility and pointed out that "in this new spot around 1429 must be, necessarily, of lower intensity than that experienced before," and indicated that "falls within the current parameters completely normal solar cycle.

The spot 1429 is here, in its highest development, to have a size seven times that of Earth. This active region was the cause of the intense solar storm in early March, with five solar flares larger scale and over a dozen other large solar flares M.
Among them, l to flare X 5.6 has been the second biggest in the current solar cycle. Three days ago, the region 1429 surprised scientist’s with another huge solar flare thrown from the other side of the Sun, which carried a strong associated coronal mass ejection in the opposite direction to Earth, but became concerned about its effects on the Stereo B spacecraft for NASA.
