I new it wouldn't last.

A small sunspot may have just rotated on to the western limb

A small sunspot may have just rotated onto the east

http://solarcycle24.com/

Even if it is a spot i don't think it matters that much,

we are still seeing very low activity, and would it have been visible using older techniques?

having new ways to look at the sun is great, but also makes it harder to compare this downturn with past events.

Long may it continue http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif

Just noticed this:- http://www.spaceweather.com/

Here is the main source:- http://www.vg.no/nyheter/vaer/artikkel.php?artid=596359 (Translator needed)

I wonder if this is a natural phenomenon, surly rockets, missiles and other aircraft etc, would have been seen time and time again by now, if they were the cause?

Pleasantly puzzling IMO :rolleyes:

THAT is one reason to get your sunspot data from SIDC although a few months behind the data is obtained from obsevatories using methods unchanged from certainly 1848 and more

I just like to see the spotless run continue & records broken, but as you say activity is still at very low levels.

I must say though I have often wondered how many of the smaller sun spots were missed, particularly in the 1600s, which makes me suspect that the Maunder minimum wasn't possibly quite that low.

Here's an interesting article that was mentioned by our local weather presenter Paul Hudson. Probably more suited for the climate thread but an interesting read none the less :)

Feel free to move this were appropriate :)

Hi people, so how many days short are we to beat last years total? Could we be going spotless again next week I wonder? http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

Hi Snowray, sunspot 1034 is still hanging in there, but is not very active, may produce some B class flares, but over all remaining quiet.

Solar flux has gone up though to 75, from 71 when it was spotless.

yeah steve thats something ive found since the last bigger outbreak awhile ago the flux has stayed arount the 70mark,

slowly its creeping up with each active moment so my thoughts are is cycle 24 well underway i think it is,

last winter the flux was around 64 for a very longtime,

it would be intresting what the highest flux was during cycle 23 and now id of thought there be a big difference.

cycle 24 is absolutely supressed and sunspot number has dropped to 12 it was 13 from the start for 3 days,

solar wind has dropped aswell but fux has risen so possible that we could have another region forming,

maybe the current region will strengthen but not likely if its dropping already.:)

it appears that 1034 has just chucked out a large flare tho not earth directed

GEOALERT BRU347

UGEOA 30512 91213 1257/ 9930/

10132 20132 30132

PLAIN

NOTE: the above forecasts are valid from 1230UT, 13 Dec 2009 until 15 Dec 2009

PREDICTIONS FOR 13 Dec 2009 10CM FLUX: 075 / AP: 003

PREDICTIONS FOR 14 Dec 2009 10CM FLUX: 076 / AP: 003

PREDICTIONS FOR 15 Dec 2009 10CM FLUX: 076 / AP: 001

COMMENT: A flare occurred. At the moment of the flare peak, GOES14 does

not provide any data of the X-ray flux. From EIT pictures, it is clear

that NOAA AR 1034 is the source region. There are on disk signatures of

an associated CME. Since the source region is not located near the disk

centre, the CME is probably not Earth directed. In ACE data, we see a

magnetic field reversal in the Bz-component. The geomagnetic conditions

are quiet.

Looks like a little bit of micro spot activity is on the cards for the next few day's.

Still time to surpass 2008 record though
