Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
This is the most complex sun spot region we have seen this cycle and in quite a while. It is showing some serious complexity and will be earth facing over the next 12 days. I wouldn't fly. pic.twitter.com/kKtXIabPTW — TheLastWatcher (@USA_Canuck) November 30, 2025 X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE (PERHAPS THE FIRST OF MANY): We were expecting …
A scar-like coronal hole has opened up on the Sun across the solar equator, and the high-speed-stream of solar wind emanating from it is expected to hit Earth May 28th-29th. With its negative polarity, geomagnetic storming is likely, and following right behind it are two large sunspot groups that are growing and flaring, with the …
The sun has seen its most active month for over two decades, with a monthly average of 215.5 sunspots being recorded in August. This is the first time the average monthly sunspot number has exceeded 200 since September 2001, which was before the sun released the most powerful solar flare ever recorded, in late 2003. …
by Tom McClellan A lot of people are going to resist accepting the message of this week’s chart, but I am going to show it anyway. There is a strong positive correlation between the US unemployment rate and the monthly sunspot count. The trick is that I am using a 36-month forward offset in the …
Summary: Footage of the new, growing spot as it begins to face Earth. Solartards are shaving their tomatoes with tears running down their faces
A CARRINGTON-CLASS SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR3664 has grown so large, it now rivals the great Carrington sunspot of 1859. To illustrate their similarity, we’ve added Carrington’s famous sketch (to scale) to a NASA photo of today’s sun: Sprawling almost 200,000 km from end to end, AR3664 is 15 times wider than Earth. You can see it through …
