The last 50+ spotless day streak was in 1913. There have only been three 50+ streaks since 1849.

The active region is there on the magnetogram:

(N.B. this is a real time image, so over time the region will rotate off the west limb)

But so far none of the SIDC observers (5 at time of posting) have seen it, so unless it grows it probably won't get counted.

I can't see that being counted, quite silly for space weather to even mention it, can't see a thing, even zoomed in 500%!

I'm clouded out at the moment but it looks like a decent aurora has kicked off. Some nice pics doing the rounds from Northern Scotland.

The  Spaceweather.com has not updated their sun count number. I went on to the Solarham.net website and the have the sunspot count as zero.
