a record sunspot has been observed, 60-80times the size of the earth by an Australian observatory. http://www.gympietimes.com.au/story/2009/07/07/magnetic-storms-on-the-suns-surface-are-set-to-int/
Stupid reporters. That's sunspot 1024. Go to http://www.spaceweather.com for less paranoid information.
Hopefully this marks the end of the longest "Solar Minimum" we have had in over a century. This last winter was way too cold for my bones, and I would rather not have any more record breaking cold weather.
