The sun is having a busy week, developing three massive unstable "delta-class" sunspots, one of which spewed out the second biggest solar flare so far this solar cycle.

The flare, which was classified as an X1.9 flare, occurred at 1:50 p.m. EST on January 9, 2023, and erupted from sunspot AR3184, NASA said in a statement. There are two other large sunspots currently on the sun's surface also at risk of releasing an X-class solar flare: AR3181 and AR3182.
