Then there were two? Multiple sunspot appearance
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 23:03 The new sunspot sitting low on the the Earth facing side has been officially provided the number 1026, but just as soon as it was official another sunspot began to emerge on the sun.
While this second spot has yet to be named or classified, it is a welcome sight to see two significant areas of activity on our solar disk.
The positioning of the latest spot has me worried it may be an old Cycle 23 spot, but I'll leave that to the experts to determine.
