Current Sunspot Activity
 |
- Sunspots are solar magnetic storms. The spots appear darker because the temperature of the spots are lower than the surrounding photosphere.
- They serve as a reservoir for solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which cause Aurorae, power/communication outages, and satellite anomalies.
- The Sun's activity waxes and wanes in an 11-year sunspot cycle; Solar Minimum is when the number of sunspots are lowest.
- There seems to be a correlation between Solar Min/Maximum and Earth's weather. The extent to which Ozone, stratospheric winds, global circulation patterns, and cloud seeding are all affected are still being studied.

Solar Activity Monitor
The monitor in the page heading provides a textual status of X-ray activity and refers to the X-Ray Flux graph at the top of the page.| NORMAL | Solar X-ray flux is quiet (<1.00e-6 W/m^2). |
| ACTIVE | Solar X-ray flux is active (>= 1.00e-6 W/m^2). |
| M CLASS FLARE | An M Class Solar Flare has occurred (>= 1.00e-5 W/m^2). |
| X CLASS FLARE | An X Class Solar Flare has occurred (>= 1.00e-4 W/m^2). |
| MEGA FLARE | An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred (>= 1.00e-3 W/m^2). |
