The right panel shows the visible face of the Sun as it looked on a good day
during the late Modern Warm Period. Sunspots are the apparent size of
craters on the moon. The left panel shows a Sun as it appears today.

his religious expectations. Al Gore is a divinity school dropout. George
Carlin had a better grasp of the true nature of God's creation, than does Al

Two days after the fact, It was already Tuesday, May 12 in 15 time

I pointed out that the active regions were just rotating into view
with more up to date May 11, 2009 SOHO image.

I.E. "the active regions are just rotating into view.".

Additionally SOL emit's 64MW per square meter of its surface area. Is
not what I would call "hibernation".
