Sun is acting unusual

There's a big dark spot on the sun, kind of like a black hole, and it's pointed right at us. It's sending a ton of high-speed solar wind our way. NOAA is saying we might see a G1 to G2 storm, but with the extra energy from the equinox, it could pack a bigger punch.

Normally, we see this kind of stuff during solar minimum, but we're actually in a solar maximum right now, and the Sun’s magnetic field is flipping This is kind of unusual!
