Wild Study Proposes Possible Link Between Solar Flares and Earthquakes

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a coincidence—but other experts say it probably was.

Today’s view (Feb 5, 9:34am EST) of the enormous sunspot region 4366, compared with my previous shot (2nd photo, taken Feb 2).

It’s clearly grown since rotating into view — Space.com says it’s now a staggering 15 Earths wide, big enough to see without telescopes or binoculars (though you still need eye protection). And it’s been spitting out powerful M- and X-class flares. Clear skies to all you aurora hunters out there!

My phone has been buzzing about solar flares and these monster sunspots did not disappoint! This image was captured at 1pm on February 4th.

There have been FOUR #SolarFlares in the X class over just 20 hours: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/solar-cycle-25/2026/02/02/sun-releases-4-strong-solar-flares/. But the consequences for Earth will be practically zero: https://bsky.app/profile/vincentledvina.bsky.social/post/3mdv7xktvs22b and https://x.com/JAtanackov/status/2018334607653937177 - what a waste ... ;-)
