New SUNSPOT 4294 and 4296 is nearly as large as "Carrington's" sunspot (1859), which fried telegraph poles. THIS SUNSPOT CAN PRODUCE X-CLASS SOLAR FLARES, AND DEPENDING ON THEIR INTENSITY AND ITS POSITION FACING THE EARTH. IT CAN KNOCK OUT OUR SATELLITES AND ELECTRICAL GRIDS.

Sunspots 4294 and 4296, compared to "Carrington's" sunspot, actually print drawing he made in 1859, when on September 1st of the same year, released one of the largest documented  X-Class flares in history, although they may have been more frequent in the years before 1859. Yet, the 'event' had more of an impact due to newer technology relying on electricity, which electromagnetic radiation can cause havoc with, including electrifying the Earth for days after.  Sunspot 4299, which is not on this image of the sun, and just above the the two massive sun sports pictured, released an X-Class flare, but not quite aligned with Earth, yet we may get a glancing plow on the 3rd December 2025, as a mild Solar Storm.
