This won't affect us on earth. We will just be able to see it.
Geez, sun, put some pants on! 🙈
🌞: Well don’t spie! Haven’t you learned to never stare at me directly!
The technological part of this is very cool. But after the last few years I can't help but think, "I wonder how much damage the inevitable solar flare is going to do?"
It's going to be an interesting few days if it's going to hit Earth...
Edit: I said "if", not "when"
Rotate into view ≠ Effecting earth
Emphasis on "if"
"If" the sunspot hits Earth. Got it.
