The Sun a
summer
without
activity
Precisely one
month ago, on
11 July 2009,
the last active
area of the
new solar
cycle
disappeared
from the
surface of the
Sun. Over the
30 days
following
this, neither
observers on
Earth nor
devices in
space have
been able to
detect the
emergence of
any sunspots.
Due to the
fact that the
Sun has
completed a
full rotation
around its axis
during this
period, it is
possible to
conclude that
not only are
there no
sunspots on
the side facing
Earth, but that
there are no
sunspots on
the entire
surface of the
Sun.
Therefore, it
seems that our
star has once
again returned
to a state of
deep solar
winter,
following
several sparks
of activity in
May-June
2009. Today
(12 August)
 marks the
start of the
second month
of this solar
inactivity.
