In Dec 2025, a very large sunspot group, already 90% the area of the Carrington sunspot group, rotated into view from the Earth. In this video I discuss the Carrington event, explain what such an event could do to Earth now, and show that this sunspot group is unlikely to produce such an outcome.

All videos, solar images, and illustrations were produced by me except where noted.
