No Sunspots Since #1008

This is a time laps of the Sun by SOHO/NASA over the last month. You can see the major Sunspot 1008 form at the start of this month and move across the top to the right. This shows how big the spot actually was.

The sun has been blank since this spot hopefully things will start heating up.

This is an awesome idea for a topic, I'm currently in a solar systems class so I'm learning a lot about the sun and sunspots, solar flares and solar wind. The diagrams you post are also great and make the tracking way more interesting. I'd like to hear more in those posts about the different stuff that's going on!

This is Shane from sec 1 of FA3600. I really like your blog, it was interesting to me learn that sunspots follow a cycle. I also liked all your pictures of the Aurora Borealis, they're quite beautiful.
