Summary: The colossal sunspot AR3664 is unleashing powerful Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) towards Earth. NOAA forecasts predict multiple impacts starting late on May 10, with more expected on May 11 and potentially May 12. These CMEs could trigger geomagnetic storms, leading to auroral displays but also posing risks to technological infrastructure. Sunspot AR3664, comparable to the historic Carrington sunspot, spans 2,00,000 kilometers. Experts are monitoring closely.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
