Big sunspots turn toward Earth

Two of the biggest sunspots in years are turning toward Earth. Wide enough to swallow planets, the active regions are entering Earth’s ‘strike-zone’, meaning any flares or CMEs this week would probably be Earth-directed.

Even if they don’t explode, the sunspots are prime targets for amateur astronomers and sunset photographers.
