And I bet everyone thought only the moon was made of green cheese.

Very nice Michael... Would that be considered a lot of activity on the Sun?

Clear skies,

I'm not sure.  It's three sunspot groups in total.

Here is a plot of sunspot numbers for the last few years.

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for providing that link... Seems like activity on the Sun will be increasing over the coming years. So, good times ahead for solar observers. 

Clear skies, 
Darren.
