| Not a single sunspot since June 3rd. However, solar activity of course continues modulating geomagnetism, and in some two or three days sunspots should reappear from region #12,546, currently still on the sun's farside. The current Solar Cycle # 24 is the weakest solar cycle in more than a century with the fewest sunspots since Solar Cycle # 14 peaked in February 1906. |

| The Sun rotates counterclockwise, but not as a rigid sphere: The equator rotates faster than the poles (differential rotation). |
