We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan

I'm mildly amused that the BBC chooses to run this story when, for the last month or so, the sun has been almost completely devoid of spots... :wink:

Well, if the SOHO real-time images are anything to go by then there's some activity coming round, and there were some big spots a few days before the Coronado arrived. There've been some nice prominences and filaments over the last few days too.
