Let's hear it for Spot 992 - short lived as it was

Woo Hoo! We finally had a sunspot -- 992 (Cycle 23) popped up late last week and has completely faded as of today. Here it is from yesterday:

And here it is today - quiet again; nothing on the front, nothing on the back and nothing looking like it might form. It shows April 26 as this site uses Greenwich Mean Time and right now, it's the 26th in Jolly Olde England.

At this stage in Solar Cycle 24 we should be seeing a consistent five or more sunspots in the Sun's higher latitudes. Posted by DaveH at April 25, 2008 10:18 PM | TrackBack
