Summary: European probes captured a massive sunspot, AR3664, during May's solar storm. The storm triggered strong auroras globally. Proba-2 and Solar Orbiter observed the sunspot, revealing its complex magnetic field. Solar activity impacts Earth's infrastructure. Understanding sunspots is crucial for mitigating disruptions. Solar Orbiter's unique position provides a 360-degree view of the Sun. AR3664 remained active while out of Earth's sight, posing future risks.
