[South Florida DX Association] New Solar Cycle 23 Sunspot Group

[Bill]

On Friday evening NOAA/SWPC designated the new sunspot group #10114 and a solar cycle 23 sunspot group. Solar cycle 23 is now 12 years and 11 months long from first spot to present one, an extension of the already record long solar cycle!!!

A new sunspot group has emerged near S04E03. It has the latitude of a solar cycle 23 sunspot group but a magnetic signature of a solar cycle 24 sunspot group. It remains to be seen if it survives long enough for NOAA/SWPC to assign it a number, which would be #10114.
