Well, that'll fix #GlobalWarming, eh? 😬
NOAA confirms a 'full-blown' #GrandSolarMinimum
"#GSM's have the potential to hold sunspots at ZERO for multiple decades. [Apparently, there are currently ZERO sunspots at the moment]. The most famous example is the #MaunderMinimum (1645-1715) which brought plummeting temperatures, crop loss, famine, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people ACROSS the planet."

Thanks to a heads-up post from @appagalcrochet, I hauled out my telescope this morning to check out newly-formed sunspot region 4366 — an area ten times wider than the Earth! It’s been emitting powerful X-class solar flares, which reportedly triggered radio blackouts across the South Pacific. The fact that life is able to exist at all on our tiny orb amid such unimaginably powerful cosmic forces continues to amaze me.

[Alert, alert! 🌟 💥 ] Increased risk of #SolarStorms in the coming days!
Numerous particularly active #sunspots appeared on the surface of the #Sun last weekend. Their total surface area is comparable to that of the sunspots observed by British astronomer Richard #Carrington on September 1, 1859. An event that gave rise to the strongest solar storm in recent centuries.

Excellent seeing conditions today, and the Sun is sharing some excellent sunspot groups as well. There is a forest fire smoke layer above us, but very steady conditions prevail.

Wow, what a fascinating Astronomy Day! The sky was mostly clear in both Bonn and Effelsberg, and our visitors were able to experience the partial solar eclipse (SoFi) on March 29 with their own eyes!
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. This only happens during a new moon and when the Moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth. There are three types of solar eclipses:
👉 Total SoFi - when the Sun is completely covered. A total solar eclipse lasts a maximum of 7 minutes and 32 seconds;
👉 Partial SoFi - when only a part of the Sun is covered;
👉 Annular SoFi - when the Moon is too far away and therefore too small to completely cover the Sun.Since the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun and exactly 400 times closer to the Earth, it can completely cover the Sun when viewed from Earth. However, a solar eclipse cannot be observed equally from all places on Earth, but only within a narrow geographic area. But wherever you are, remember: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection! For example, SoFi glasses or a welding helmet with the appropriate protection level are suitable, but not regular sunglasses or binoculars.
In addition to the partially obscured Sun, several sunspots were also visible. The number of sunspots depends on the current phase of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, which is why they are not always visible.
#SaveTheDate:
📢 The next partial solar eclipse in Germany: August 12, 2026 – over 80% coverage;
📢 The next total solar eclipse visible from Germany: in 2081. -

#FootpathFriday this was from my time in #england in the #oxfordshire hills above #henleyonthames.
.
One of the strangest photos I’ve ever taken. The sky looks like a painting and the people don’t look real but this is a totally legit photo taken with my #leica_camera

New Forecast Resets Solar Cycle Expectations
https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/new-forecast-resets-solar-cycle-expectations/
"A new forecast suggests that sunspot numbers, aurorae, and other solar activity will peak sooner and at a higher level than expected."

Japanese navy? Nah, just an #OpticalIllusion! Or is that what they'd want us to think?? 🙄 The second image shows #sunspots better. Taken seconds apart. Today's #sunset produced a bit cleaner red hues, the air seems cleaner, too.

Double #Sunset, take two. Or is it a #VennDiagram? #Boolean NOT maybe? #Tatooine? 🎴
Interestingly, three #sunspots are visible on the projected image. Just barely, but they're sunspots no. 3239, 3242 and 3245. They match in topology with today's #SDO HMI Intensitygram perfectly, if rotated a bit counterclockwise as expected for a winter month in temperate to high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere (SDO data releases are, I believe, corrected for orbital observatory's inclination to the #Sun's equator so it's kept nicely in the middle of their images) https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/sunspot-regions.html
