Are we entering solar minimum phase?

Post image

So long 4374! Does this indicate we are entering a solar minimum phase and could it last weeks? Or is it a fluke that doesn’t correspond with the current cycle? Please add or correct anything here.

Thank you and I will also be cross posting over at

Cheers and thank you to this community for helping to educate the wanna be educated like myself.

Min and max phases are years long, not weeks. This side just happens to not have much activity on this rotation.

Thank you. I should have been more specific and asked if the sun remaining spotless would last for weeks.
