Looks like you opened up a "sucker hole" on the discussion board too. Discussions like this one tend to get a bunch of agitation, but not much motion towards a solution of any kind. People seem to like the (pointless) debate though. (Pointless because there can be no solution, and the end result is ususally only further polarization.)

I've got a sucker hold passing over the house at the moment and was able to see what the folks at SpaceWeather are talking about.
While not as easy to see at 1 power as the last big spot this one is still impressive (looks kind of like a tear in the photosphere).

DEJA VU? A big spot is growing on the sun--again. Today sunspot 758 is almost as wide as the planet Jupiter; two days ago it was sparse and unimpressive. Like sunspot 756 in late April, this new active region reminds us how quickly big sunspots can materialize--even during solar minimum.
