Sunspots are here to create chaos yet again. Just a couple of days ago, solar flares from the AR3110 sunspot caused distortions in the communication systems and stalled rescue operations in hurricane-hit regions of the US. Now, one of the largest sunspots of this year has been identified. AR3112 has the potential of spewing X-class solar flares which can cause massive radio blackouts.
