Sunspot group 4366 is showing activity similar to the Carrington event, with a high risk of a modern Carrington event occurring. The sunspot has produced over a dozen M-class flares and an X1 flare, but no coronal mass ejections have been launched yet. The situation is being closely monitored, as a Carrington event could have significant technological impacts.

A massive sunspot, comparable in size to the Carrington sunspot of 1859, is rapidly developing and could potentially cause a significant solar flare or coronal mass ejection. The sunspot’s rapid growth and increasing complexity are concerning, as it could lead to a near-Carrington level impact on Earth within the next week. The situation is critical, and the next few days are particularly concerning as the sunspot aligns with Earth.
