The Sun Is Asleep

The Sun Is Asleep. Deep Solar Minimum Feared As 2020 Sees Record-Setting 100-Day Slump

While we on Earth suffer from coronavirus, our star the Sunis having a lockdown all of its own. Spaceweather.com reports that already there have been 100 days in 2020 when our Sun has displayed zero sunspots. 

That makes 2020 the second consecutive year of a record setting low number of sunspots which you can see (a complete absence of) here.

Note: never look at the Sun with the naked eye or through binoculars or a telescope that aren’t fitted with solar filters.

So are we in an eternal sunshine of the spotless kind?
