ARRRGGGH!
Ya got me beat - by about 6"
Your Place: Alaska:
Those mountains in the background sure add to the ambiance
Below: My place, Maine"
But we got 6 more inches coming tonight -
I'd sure love to have 6 months of sunlight - but I don't know's I could slog through the opposite

Khabibullo Abdusamatov?
An astronomer named Khabibullo
Claimed the sun was increasingly dull-o
"Where I used to see lots
I no longer see spots
And the flares seem to be in a lull-o."
"Not so fast," said a fellow named Gore
"If they're lacking we need to make more.
Sunspot credits, you see,
You can purchase from me,
And I promise you warming galore!"
But the sun is decreasingly bright
As the heat of the day fades to night
Al's counting the ducats
In their bags, bins, and buckets.
It turns out P.T. Barnum was right.
I'll pass on "Abdusamatov," thanks. Too dang hard.

Bigger photo, different filter, from SOHO. I don't know if it will periodiacally refresh, upon each new [5 minute cycle] renewal rate, or not.If the time and date indicates later than the "post" time, then perhaps it will/does.

The sun has been virtually blank for probably the last six months or so. Pretty strange sight. Finally got a small “cycle 24 sunspot” a week or so ago, but it’s gone now.

I just downloaded the data files and did a count:
Ol’Sol was blank for 161 days in 2007 - no spots at all for half the year.

Good posting! Real data as opposed to emotional scare mongering.
This is a NASA image of the sun on February 8, 2008 that readers can learn more about by going to www.spaceweather.com
The 70 year Maunder Minimum that extended from 1645 to 1715 coincided with the coldest portion of what is known as "The Little Ice Age" in Europe and North America.

Global cooling scare in the 70s to early 80s, global warming scare in the late 90s to 2007, now were back to global cooling. I think I see a pattern here. The pattern goes back a lot longer than the 1970's. "Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but cant decide whether we face an ice age or warming." See Fire and Ice.

Of course if the suns fire is going out, maybe we just need to shoot some fire wood or coal over there and get it going again. Uuuh, sure
