Hi!
It seems as the new cycle has just began. If you have a look at this image from Wikipedia you will see that it is a bit late.

Hofi, I think the updated image you should link is this one, really showing hints of the new solar cycle:

Dilo, maybe the astronomers of today can see more of the smaller spots than those of 100+ years ago?
I know the Wikipedia chart is based on the area covered, not the number of spots, but surely there were a lot more unobserved spots back then, and this must account for some of that (until-recently) steady increase. |
