I’ve been looking for the post that I saw yesterday...someone said that sunspot activity had started again. I take it that this is not true? When and if I find the poster I’ll ping you to it.
Just checked the observatory (they update several times a day):
Flux Density Values in sfu for 22:00 on 2008:02:27
Julian Day Number : 2454524.406
Carrington Rotation Number : 2067.233
Observed Flux Density : 0070.5
Flux Density Adjusted for 1 A.U. : 0069.2
URSI Series D Flux, Adj. x 0.9 : 0062.2
... still at minimum.
Maybe the poster was saying they’ve had another sunspot as in: “Wow, another sunspot at last!!!” –.^
P.S. I’ve recently learned to not refer to stories about the solar wind as “breaking news” if I want to be taken seriously
