Right now, the sun is a cueball, as seen below in this image today from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and has been without sunspots for 10 days. So far in 2018, 61% of days have been without sunspots.<\/p>\n

On Sunday NOAA posted its\u00a0monthly update of the solar cycle, covering sunspot activity for March 2018<\/a>. Below is my annotated version of that graph.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

March 2018 was the least active month for sunspots since the middle of 2009, almost nine years ago. In fact, activity in the past few months has been so low it matches the low activity seen in late 2007 and early 2008, ten years ago when the last solar minimum began and indicated by the yellow line that I have added to the graph below. If the solar minimum has actually arrived now, this would make this cycle only ten years long, one of the shortest solar cycles on record. More important, it is a weak cycle. In the past,\u00a0all<\/strong>\u00a0short cycles were active cycles. This is the first time we have seen a short\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0weak cycle since scientists began tracking the solar cycle in the 1700s, following the last grand minimum in the 1600s when there were almost no sunspots.<\/p>\n
