If the moon is made of green cheese, is the sun made of mint jelly?

Believe those images are looking at the back side of the sun. The front side has had very weak activity the past few days. Was more active a couple weeks ago when the Sunspot number was 40. Currently at 11. Very weak. Perhaps they are referring to this note from the Solar Cycle 24 site

There will be a small (30%) chance for minor geomagnetic storming around Feb 7 because of a Coronal Hole solar wind stream flowing from the sun as well as possible effects due to a small CME on Feb 2. Stay Tuned.

At any rate, it was small and minor. We got months ways to go before our sun starts getting real mean again, assuming its activity peaks strongly.
