More Solar Cycle 25 Sunspots.

More sunspots from the new solar cycle 25 have appeared on the sun.

Today Spaceweather.com announced that two spots from cycle 25 have appeared showing in the solar disk.
This is the first time this cycle, and suggests that the Maunder minimum sometimes predicted in solar activity is not imminent. The Maunder Minimum was a period of decades without sunspots occurred in the 17th century.

This quickening appears to show a normal cycle 25, with a predicted maximum in mid-2025. The current minimum is, however, considered a "deep minimum", usually occurring once a century.

I am very much looking forward to more sunspots and therefore bettewr propagation on the higher bands.

Christmas present from the sun ? ;)
