TL;DR Summary

Nine dangerous sunspots have been detected on the Sun, raising fears of potential solar storms that could damage satellites, mobile networks, internet services, power grids, and sensitive electronics. Sunspots are caused by intense magnetic activity that inhibits the flow of heat from the sun's interior, resulting in a cooler region that appears darker than the surrounding area. If even one of these sunspots explodes, it could cause a solar flare eruption and release coronal mass ejections (CME) that could lead to geomagnetic storms on Earth. NOAA's DSCOVR satellite monitors solar storms and the Sun's behavior to predict potential impacts on Earth.
