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!
