Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. A magnetically reversed, high-latitude sunspot emerged today. This marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way!

May be of interest to set your 'solar clock" countdown ( watch the weather, the stock exchange and rise and fall of nations) we are approaching the 5125 year marker and countdown to unprecedented changes.
Life & fire
is this the Dawning One?
