I received a notice late last night regarding a very unusual sunspot coming around the eastern limb of the Sun. At first I thought it might have been someone?s imagination getting the better part of them. Now I have received confirmation from NOAA/NASA Space Weather Center something indeed is occurring which could spell disaster if it was to form together.

New sunspot 927 has materialized and it is very unusual. Sunspot 927 is shaped like a ring. The ring is about twice as wide as Earth and should be seen with moderate size amateur scopes. The magnetic field of this sunspot is posed to cause unstable conditions leading to severe eruptions.
