The Big Sunspot of 2014
The view from the SDO AIA 171 angstrom filter of AR 12192 moving across the solar disk.
The largest sunspot seen so far in this solar cycle produced a number of flares, even a few X-class flares, but only one rather small coronal mass ejection (CME). Here is a view of the sunspot group during the two weeks it took to pass across the solar disk
A view of AR 12192 moving across the solar disk in this sequence from the SDO HMI instrument.
