THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM? Giant sunspot AR3311 has been relatively calm for the past 48 hours. It might be the calm before the storm. The sunspot has an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong X-class solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 10% chance of an X-flare on May 24th.

= Another epic fail in the realm of reading comprehension 101. Congrats.
The sunspot referred to as the active one from which a possible substantial (possible X) flare may be come from is 3311. The biggest sunspot currently is 3310 regarding the eclipse glasses...doh?
