Fool me

April 23rd, 2008 John A No comments

I look on solarcycle24.com. I see a high latitude sunspot number 992.

I think “hurrah! SC24 has finally shown itself”. I check the magnetogram.

The black arrow points to sunspot 992 – and its an SC23 spot! Its the same polarity as the SC23 magnetic signatures further south.

The red arrow points to the reversed polarity SC24 phage left by the tiny SC24 spot left a week ago.

Fool me.
