 SUDDEN QUIET: Less than two weeks ago, the sun was peppered with large 
active regions.  Now, the face of the sun is almost completely blank. 
Suddenly, the sunspot number and the sun's x-ray output have dropped to 
their lowest levels in years.  Is Solar Maximum finished?  Probably not, but 
the ongoing quiet spell is remarkable.  Check http://spaceweather.com for 
forecasts and further discussion.
