New big sunspot will stare right into our eyeballs in few days from now. Last time that happened some 49 Japanese were killed in an earthquake.
Pseudoscience does not belong here.

damn I'm looking at the sun but can't find any spots. Help me my eyes hurts
this is that sunspot on April 15:

I'm scared.
>>8074118
you should be wearing polarized sun glasses if you want to look at the sun
i recommend ray bans
>>8074140
thanks anon, but after 10 minutes of looking straight at the sun with my rayban I can barely see, is this normal?
>>8074163
your using at least 2 pairs of ray bans when looking at the sun right?
if not you might have to get new eyes

T minus 6 days.
I would like a VEI5+ this time:

It'll look pretty neat once it's in the center

From when is this photo? And where can I find sunspot tracking site?

That'll happen when your entire country is a fault line.

Thanks
This is some hellstar remina shit.
It looks like that region 12546 will have a big companion on the other side of the Sun equator. T minus 4 days?
>>8076993
Forgot to mention that 4 or 3 days is a relatively long time: a new sunspot can pop out anywhere and be named 12547. There are at least 3 regions already that can generate a spot, even two.
high chance of a minor storm in a couple of hours:

>sunspot caused that earthquake
is this a meme, or legit
>>8077220
There are studies correlating earthquakes with magnetic storms, volcanic activity with cosmic rays, solar flares with blackouts, and so on. Everything is interconnected. In the last thread on the subject we posted a study saying that major earthquakes happens when the Ap index is low (7 or under) or high (22 or above): at the moment the average for May is projected to be 14.6, so a major event is probably not going to happen, but who knows...
>>8077220
Well, the chance of it being real is 50%.

Tried to observe sunspot using welding glass, raybans and pair of binoculars. I also did it on sunset, to get boost to magnification from atmosphere. I couldn't see anything unfortunetly. I wish I had solar filter for my telescope.
>any tips on observing it?

>>8077928
yeah, a fat red sunset is the way to go
nice
>>8077984
but which sun would win? :^)
sun spots dim the suns strength, why does this matter? Earthquakes cant be possibly connected
two new tiny sunspots are appearing, but they seems connected with other regions
the upcoming big brother is still hiding on the East side but looks quite active already
big brother looks huge and surrounded by other spots
I wonder if they'll go with only one region name
>>8079035
Not really, the surrounding area of a sunspot radiates more than a spotless zone. In general, the sunspot number indicates solar energetic activity and correlates with total solar irradiation.
update
waiting patiently another full day for the new region to be clearly visible
Kotlyakov is predicting a very weak Solar Cycle 25

it's only a 6.7
wake me up at next 7.5+
Can someone explain to me what these sunspots are and what/how do they create danger ?

A sunspot is just a cooler region of the Sun's photosphere where a magnetic flux tube has emerged and restricts the upward convection of heat causing the surface to cool.
They have nothing to do with Earthquakes. The connection OP claims is pure pseudoscience, it has never been established.
is it trying to look like Sardinia or France?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France
do you know any sunspot in the past that looked like a familiar object?
Solar Cycle 24 has beaten SC 7 and now is the weakest since SC 6 (December 1810 - May 1823):

Is our sun dying?
>>8085421
Goddamn photino birds.
almost in the middle!
>>8085938
power falls out when its at the middle.
OP never got his centered spot on the middle picture.
Did we die yet?
>>8074104
last time something happened some other also happened
