Why Has the White House Suddenly Released Strategy for Dealing with Catastrophic Meteor Impact?
Sunspot Numbers Crashing in 2017: So far this year, the big story in space weather is sunspots – or rather, the lack thereof. The sun has been blank more than 90% of the time. Only one very tiny spot observed for a few hours on Jan. 3rd interrupted a string of spotless days from New Years through Jan. 11th. Devoid of dark cores, yesterday's sun is typical of the year so far. The last time the sun produced a similar string of spotless days was May of 2010, almost 7 years ago. That was near the end of the previous deep Solar Minimum. The current stretch is a sign that Solar Minimum is coming again.
