Gang,
 
As of yesterday (Aug 15th) a physicist with Marshall Space Flight in 
Huntsville (NASA) announced  that a rare occurance has happened. On July 31st The sun 
gave birth to a single  sunspot, but this was no ordinary sunspot, it was a 
backwards one. Backwards  sunspots only occurs just before a really large 
sunspot cycle. So scientists  believe that this activity is indicating that the next 
cycle will indeed be a  large one. They also say that the backwards sunspot 
is the beginning of a new  cycle, so if that is the case, as of July 31st we're 
now in Cycle 24.
