The wait is over. Cycle 24 begins
Space Weather News for Jan. 4, 2008
http://spaceweather.com Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. A magnetically reversed, high-latitude sunspot emerged today. This marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way! |

Does this mean we have better communication by SW at the start of the new cycle?? Or how does this affect SW again. Thanks. |

It's a slow journey, but we're on our way! There was one such sunspot more than a year ago which only lasted a few hours but it apparently didn't portent the beginning of cycle-24. Maybe the latest one will. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2..._backwards.htm |
