Sunspot increase?

A CME in the right direction will someday reduce our techno-society to a
large collection of paperweights. Can't happen soon enough for me.

That would be great for me since all my radios have tubes. Built in
night lights. I've been thinking for the last 20 years how that event
would destroy all the newer, smaller chips with millions of transistors
on each one. Poof! No more high tech. Nasa says we are overdue for an
event from the sun.

Nasa says we are overdue for something because they are trying to
keep their funding for all those helio satellites which is fine by me.
But calling these microdots on the sun sunspots is ridiculous. A
sunspot years ago was just that... a dark spot on the sun that you
could see from the ground.

It looks more like we are going the other way. I would be happy if the
solar flux would just get back to 100.

I hear what you are saying about sunspots and the sun might just be
building up to something really big. Even the NASA websites will admit
that we know very little about the nearest star, our own sun.
