Current Stretch: 41 days
2009 total: 183 days (79%)
Since 2004: 694 days
Typical Solar Min: 485 days
QUIET SUN: According to NOAA sunspot counts, the longest stretch of spotless suns during the current solar minimum was 52 days in July, August and Sept. of 2008. The current spate of blank suns is putting that record in jeopardy. There have been no sunspots for almost 42 days and there are none in the offing. Deep solar minimum continues.
NORTHERN LIGHTS: Sunspots are not required to make auroras. A solar wind stream can do the job just fine. Witness this display on August 20th
AURORA ALERT: Did you miss theNorthern Lights? In July they descended as far south as Nebraska. Next time get a wake-up call: Spaceweather PHONE.
