Textbook theory of sunspot activity faces new difficulties posed by
the magnetically confined structures of the penumbra. The old idea that
the penumbra filaments are convection currents must now give way
to new evidence that electric currents dominate these solar structures.

On January 20th, 2005, a giant sunspot named "NOAA 720" exploded.
The blast sparked an X-class solar flare, the most powerful kind, and
hurled a billion-ton cloud of electrified gas (a "coronal mass ejection")
into space. Solar protons accelerated to nearly light speed by the
explosion reached the Earth-Moon system minutes after the flare
the beginning of a days-long "proton storm."

The solar twin is 18 Scorpii, located in the constellation Scorpio
(The Scorpion), a mere 46 light-years from Earth. A light-year is
about 6 trillion miles, the distance light travels in a year.
In cosmic terms, this is quite close by.

Sun 'sheds its skin like a snake' BBC - November 2003
Astronomers have discovered a key fact required to understand the
Sun's 11-year cycle of activity. Sunspots and flares on the Sun's
surface follow the cycle, but expelled gas clouds do not. It seems
that these ejections trail the sunspot peak - they peaked in 2002,
two years after sunspots. The expelled gas takes away the Sun's old
magnetic skin allowing a new one to emerge to start a new cycle.
