X-Flare Giant Sunspot Group 1520

Go out on the web and take a look at the picture of the sunspot group that launched a CME directly at Earth on July 12, 2012.  The region the Sunspot Group is the southeastern edge of the sun. The field is 10 planet Earths in size. There's an awesome aurora picture from Wisconsin with the big dipper in it.  Super birthday candles!
