Solar Cycle 23 Sunspot Group

Posted Tuesday January 13, 2009

On Sunday January 11, 2009 a new sunspot group formed near S12W25. On Monday 
January 12, 2009 it was numbered 11011 by NOAA/SWPC. Unfortunately it lasted 
less than two days before fading away.

It's location and magnetic polarity pointed towards a solar cycle 23 sunspot 
group. This sunspot further extends the length of already record long solar 
cycle 23 to past 13 years, if my memory serves me correctly. I will check on 
that number and revise if I'm incorrect.
