Wait. I thought the sun was going quit for a few years, or at least sunspots were.
I believe that is the Maunder minimum that yo are referring to :
Spörer noted that, during one 28-year period within the Maunder Minimum (16721699),
observations showed fewer than 50 sunspots, as opposed to a more typical 40,00050,000 spots in modern times.
This resulted in significantly low temperatures recorded in Europe.

The sun definitely has quit.
