Yeah these are huge, 80,000 miles across and the largest seen since 1990, a huge solar flare erupted Friday morning around 5 am EST making that hole even bigger now..
Those spots just forming on Tuesday when I was testing my equipment to make sure it worked for Thursday:
here are a couple of pictures prior to Thursday, and you can see the spot wasn't as large:
Here is Thursday:
Here are some images from Friday after the flare (grabbed these from Solarham.com)
