Those smoothed sunspot graphs are starting to look like suspension bridges over gorges instead of transect arcs.

What gives?

Seeing that we have had this co-rotating equatorial coronal hole since the failure of SC24 to start for 2 years running, it would make sense that there are stuck areas on the Sun that refuse to die out.
That would be an interesting exercise: Plot out all the active spot areas relative to the co-rotating equatorial coronal hole since the Sun went silent.

That southern hemisphere equatorial potential sunspot area coming into view looks like a cycle 23 area. I am wondering if that is the same area I noticed a month ago or if it is a new one.

Did you notice the oulu neutron count recovering as the solar has returned to it’s recent levels? Please correct me if I am wrong. Recently, when we have a earth directed coronal hole the solar wind increases and the neutron count decreases temporarily. Within a few days the solar wind decreases and the neutron count resumes an upward trend.

These changes have absolutely no effect as the Sun is in free fall. The Earth is in free fall around the Sun .. and the Earth changes direction all the time .., yet the atmospheric winds and ocean currents .. do not react to the changes of direction .. and speed … So why should the Sun?

We do have tides.

I see nothing in that Bz graph that confirms positively that the recent uptick won’t turn out to be another short rise preceeding further fall of Bz.
Bz varies all over the place. Keating computes the ‘boxcar’ average to beat down the noise. But there seems to be very little predictive power in Bz.

Whatever they mean, 1007/1008 sunspot(s?) generate really, really beautiful magnetic filaments
Is it due to the different polarities?
Yes, the filaments are suspended over the line separating opposite polarities.
