ARLA/CLUSTER: Contagem de manchas solares cai para mínimos de 7 anos ( 13 dias consecutivos sem manchas solares )

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Sunspot counts drop to 7-year low

The face of the sun has been blank (no sunspots) for 13 consecutive
days. The last time this happened was in April of 2010, near the end
of an historically deep Solar Minimum.

The current stretch of blank suns heralds a new Solar Minimum expected
to arrive in 2019-2020.
