Sunspots galore

2009 is ending with a flurry of sunspots.  The month of December has had more "spotted days" than any previous month of the
year by a significant margin, and all of the month's sunspot groups have been members of new Solar Cycle 24. Could this herald an end to the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century? That remains to be seen. Sunspot counts and trends are shown on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
