*A SOLAR MINIMUM SUNSPOT:* With Solar Minimum right around the corner,
sunspot counts are at an almost 10-year low. So it came as a surprise
yesterday when a relatively large sunspot emerged near the sun's eastern
limb. AR2699 has a primary dark core larger than Earth with many smaller
magnetic condensations trailing behind it, in all stretching more than
75,000 km across the sun's surface. Rare "solar minimum sunspots" are
capable of intense explosions just like sunspots during more active
phases of the solar cycle. Visit Spaceweather.com
