This Sunspot Just Won’t Quit!

There’s a giant sunspot (nicknamed the 'senior citizen') that’s making its third lap around the sun—and it might break a 100-year-old record for longevity! Most sunspots last a week, but this one’s been hanging on for months, shrinking and growing, and even firing off solar flares. If it sticks around a bit longer, it could become the longest-lived sunspot ever recorded. Wild, right? #SpaceWeather #Sunspot #SolarScience #Science
