not to be confused with solar cycle 24, which peaks in 2011-2012 & was predicted to be intense...

luckily, they have the newly commissioned SDO to keep tabs on it & try & make sense of it all.  It's been sending data & scientists have been studying that data since mid-May.  It was launched (later than planned) in Feb '10.  It's been sending some extraordinary shots of the sun, the likes of which were never possible before. Like this one that puts Van Gogh's Starry Night to shame
