There is an INCREDIBLE filament that has been on the sun for about the past week. This is over 1 MILLION miles long. It's longer than here to the moon 3 times.



There's been alot of VERY unusual activity in the last week. While there are tons of sunspots right now there has been little activity to support flares. There is also currently one of the largest prominences off the face that has ever been recorded. I would have figured with this many sunpots right now alone that we'd be having semi daily flares. The strongest this week was a M1 which is pretty weak.
