NASA plot of sunspot activity. Updated monthly. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/index.html I've been saving these each month for some months now and it's been interesting to see the activity continue to drop towards zero while the predictions gamely urge it to splutter into life. Maunder minimum in the wings, or just a hiccup. Stay tuned, could be interesting.
