@alanlmsca @cirrus_1984 @NWSKansasCity @fox4wx It's preferrable to wait until after a lightning storm to go out

How it started vs. how it's going:

[NASA @NASA]

Make new friends, but keep the old.

A new photo captures the Moon's near side on the right (the side we see from Earth, identifiable by its dark splotches) and its far side on the left. The Artemis II crew are the first to see the far side with human eyes.

@cirrus_1984 Spring didn't even get the memo here

[NASA @NASA]

1972 ➡️2026
Apollo 17 ➡️ Artemis II

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

This is the first spotless day on the Sun since 2022, when we were rapidly climbing out of solar minimum (2019) towards solar maximum (2024). Does the spotless day signify the solar minimum is coming? Yes and no. A single spotless day can occur even during relatively high activity - we had one in 2014, during the peak of Solar Cycle 24. But that was a weak cycle. Spotless days usually begin during the declining phase of a solar cycle, some 4-5 years before solar minimum. On the other hand, the first spotless days of SC23, a much stronger cycle than SC24, began when the cycle had declined more than SC25 has so far - 2004 had smoothed sunspot number values between about 55 and 80, while we are likely still >100 right now (unless the cycle really crashes in the next 6 months). Certainly an interesting situation.

Is it a fluke and we will not see more spotless days in 2026, or is it a sign of the trend? We will likely see in a month when the low-activity solar longitude interval that has been present for about 6 months now again rotates into view. And it's still a long way to the solar minimum, but it may already be visible far, far in the distance.

[Jure Atanackov @JAtanackov]

There are no sunspots on the Earth facing side of the Sun right now. The Sun is spotless. Will the official sunspot number drop to 0 tomorrow?
