We have an odd deep earth Qfactor

INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspots are growing again, especially in the sun’s northern hemisphere. Nine different sunspot groups are currently facing Earth. New sunspot AR4142 has a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text
SUNSPOT SHOCKWAVES: Sunspot 4136 has an inky-black core wide enough to swallow Earth. What is going on in there? On July 15th, amateur astronomer David Wilson of Inverness, Scotland, took a closer look, and this is what he saw:

“The core of the sunspot is pulsing regularly and sending out circular waves across the solar surface like a pebble in a pond,” says Wilson. “If this is just a processing artifact, I am going to be mighty embarrassed.”
There’s no need for embarrassment. It’s real. Professional astronomers have long known about this phenomenon, sometimes called “umbral flashes.” They are usually seen only through the largest solar telescopes, but sometimes amateurs catch them, too.
The ripples Wilson observed are not fully understood. One theory holds that gas from the sun’s atmosphere falls into the sunspot’s core. When it reaches the “floor” of the sunspot, the gas rebounds, forming luminous shockwaves that spread from the center in concentric circles.
