- A cluster of sunspots 15 times the size of Earth rolled into view.
- These have been fizzing with activity and could send solar weather toward Earth as early as Saturday.
- Space weather is mostly harmless, though scientists are looking out for a rare once-a-century superstorm.

The cluster includes about a dozen sunspots that are around 125,000 miles wide— about 15 times bigger than our planet, Space.com reported.
