This week, solar activity has sharply declined. There is only one numbered sunspot on the Earth-facing side of the sun, and it is so small you might have trouble finding it." Aren't you suspicious why the sunspot count dropped so suddenly? It's because the sunspots were never there. Someone cleaned the lenses on the sunspot counting helioscopes thus removing all the sunspots. In the past, it was traditional to clean the lenses every 11 years, but I guess they're not following that schedule any more. Most likely, the helioscope keepers were on summer vacation, and their temporary replacements didn't know any better. However, not to worry. The sunspot count should return to normal as the dust accumulates. Yep, up to 26 already. -- Jim Pennino |
