Astonishing images from NASA reveal no visible sunspots are currently visible on its surface.
This has caused the star to go into "cue call" mode having entered its quietest period for more than a century, Vencore Weather claims.
Decreased activity is not unusual as solar activity changes the volatile star's surface in 11-year cycles, astronomers say.
But researchers are warning this current cycle could have a devastating impact on Earth's atmosphere, possibly ushering in a second ice age, similar to the one which began in 1645.
Paul Dorian of Vencore Weather says the blank Sun is a sign that the next solar minimum is approaching.
He said: "At first, the blankness will stretch for just a few days at a time, then it’ll continue for weeks at a time, and finally it should last for months at a time when the sunspot cycle reaches its nadir.
"The next solar minimum phase is expected to take place around 2019 or 2020."
The Sun went completely spotless on June 4 with activity remaining low for several days.
It came after another period of low activity in February when NASA images showed the sun in "cueball mode".

Real experts use those words a lot. It reflects the fact that in science, we are delving into areas no human ever before has ever studied. So we have no road map, nothing and no one to tell us we are right or wrong. All we have is the process of experimentation guided by theory, which allows us to triangulate on the truth, but it is very difficult to know that we have actually reached it. Thus, we use those words a lot.
A sure sign of a charlatan is someone who claims to have absolute certainty about a subject about which the majority of scientists express uncertainty.
“There are two or three ways to change the burn rate of the Sun...
1. Change its mass or composition
2. Change physics
3. Influence it with a neutron star or black hole.”
Can we blow on it real hard to get it going again?
I knew it! That's what TIME Magazine said back in the 1970s.
Right on cue, people.
Historical weather data covering the last half million years shows we’re due for a plunge into an ice age, having reached a periodic 125,000 year peak.
Globull Warming is not cooperating with the globalists ergo it must be regulated now...
Lack of solar sunspots and impending “Little Ice Age” is obviously caused by Globull Warming, excuse me: Man made climate change!
Don’t let facts interfere with your agenda!

She tore a photo of the Pope in half on SNL to protest the Catholic Churches silence of rampant pedophilia within their ranks.
She was attacked in the media for this and her CD’s were literally run over by a “Steamroller” in a different kind of media stunt.
She joined the Catholic Church in Ireland, became “ordained” and while it seemed as though she would live a pious life spreading the word, she once again got political. Supporting gay rights and many other causes that made me think twice about where she stands.
None of her prior actions combined with her current positions make any sense to me as a Christian.
More recently, there have been reports of “Attempted Suicide”. This is not the first time she has been subject to reports of suicide attempts.
“A sure sign of a charlatan is someone who claims to have absolute certainty about a subject about which the majority of scientists express uncertainty.”
A friend of mine who heads the physics department at the local college and has lectured at Fermilab told me once that any scientific theory should be prefaced with the statement “at our present level of ignorance we assume that......”
Cue call mode or que call mode? No visible sunspots are visible. Author kind of sucks
But.. But... But... Global warming!
Here I am sitting on the back deck here in Indy in the middle of June, and it’s a balmy 63F. Bring on the global warming..... LOL
Well, now it’s settled — we have no choice: we must raise taxes.
Send a nuke into it!
The bald one on Star Trek the movie was the hottest bald chick ever she passed many years ago Ilia
I saw the movie, it sucked...
The 2016 dummycrap platform wants to prosecute climate change “deniers”. So if we believe the climate will change because of fewer sunspots and it gets colder we’re OK?
Well, all I can say is it is 3 days from July, and the high today was 71. I was actually shivering leaving the supermarket today (admittedly during a cold rain). I live in the south.
So, burn fossil fuels like madmen in order to save the planet. Oh, and eating eggs is OK as well.
