NASA's solar dynamics observatory has photographed a very active sunspot emerging from behind the sun on it's left lower quadrant. An extreme surge of ultraviolet radiation was detected by the observatory on March 21st.

This appears to be the second coming of sunspot 1165, which was last seen in early March, and while on the other side of the sun has been growing in activity. If it spews it's energy toward the Earth in the next few days, we may see some interesting effects here on the home planet.

Stay alert, Earthlings! The solar furnace is angry.
