One of the largest sunspots in years is turning toward Earth: AR1944 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for potent eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-class flares and a 30% chance of X-flares on Jan. 6th. Any flares today will almost certainly be geoeffective. http://www.spaceweather.com/images2014/06jan14/turningtowardearth.gif?PHPSESSID=qig6jlmchsp40n8o6qec7lb6o7
