http://www.solarham.com/

Solar Update: For the first time in 198 days, the visible solar disk is void of sunspots. The day started with Sunspot 1270 as the only visible sunspeck, but it decayed during the day Saturday to a spotless plage. Solar activity should continue at very low levels in the short term.

Farside Activity: In sharp contrast to the earth facing side of the Sun, the farside is very active with sunspot regions and Coronal Mass Ejections. On Friday there was a CME blasting off the top side of the sun as seen in the still image below. Click HERE to watch the latest Lasco C2 movie and all of the action. The STEREO Behind image shows 2 possible sunspot groups (1 per hemisphere) that will emerge on the eastern limb mid week.

Tropical Storm Franklin, the sixth named storm of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, formed this morning in the open Atlantic north of Bermuda. The usual date of formation for the 6th storm of the year is September 8, so we are well ahead of climatology. However, the usual date for the first hurricane of the season is August 10, and we still have not had a hurricane yet this year. All six of this year's storms have been tropical storms, making 2011 the first season since 2002 when that has occurred. Franklin is headed eastwards out sea, away from any land areas, and does not have long to live.
