    http://www.spaceweather.comhuge sunspot today.I can see it using a sun filter on a 4" telescope.

    When the number of sunspots was low they were claiming that we were headed for a mini-ice age so we didnt need to worry about man-made emissions, now that there is a big sunspot we get this crap instead :rolleyes:
