As seen to me just now sunspot AR 3315.
Spaceweather.com reports:
Sunspot AR3315 has continued to grow, becoming the largest and most dangerous sunspot on the solar disk. And There’s a sunspot on the far side of the sun so large, it is affecting the way the whole sun vibrates. Helioseismic maps reveal the active region about 10 days away from turning toward Earth. This could herald a period of geoeffective solar activity in June.
