solar cycle 23 sunspot group. Solar cycle 23 is now 12 years and 11 months long
from first spot to present one, an extension of the already record long solar
cycle!!!</FONT></B></P></FONT></B>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 5pt 0in"><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>A new
sunspot group has emerged near S04E03. It has the latitude of a solar cycle 23
sunspot group but a magnetic signature of a solar cycle 24 sunspot group. It
remains to be seen if it survives long enough for NOAA/SWPC to assign it a
number, which would be #10114. </FONT></B></P>
