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.
