This is truly an impressive animation. It shows the 5 day time lapse formation of massive sunspot group 1158 from nothing. What's neat is how the perspective is maintained. I've never seen anything like this. Less than a week ago, sunspot 1158 didn't exist. Now it is wider than the planet Jupiter and unleashing the strongest solar flares since Dec. 2006, including an X-class solar flare.
