Sunspot 1029!!

People are intrested in the sunspot group because it has been the most active sunspot all year which is not good. They are also interested because it has C-class flares, which means its flares are small and you can see consequences here on the earth. People are interested in looking at this susnpot and to see if it gets any bigger, it's class goes up, and even if they can see anything from earth. There hasn't been many sunspots this year so they are keeping a close eye on 1029.

This is related to the deep solar minimum because astronomers are afraid that since this sunspot class is so low that we won't find anymore and that the sun might burn out. The sun has been in this for a couple of years. We haven't expeierenced very active sunspots and were're worried that we won't find anymore.

We care about sunspots on earth because ever since Galileo looked at the sun he calculated the sun spot cycle. It is 11 years long. If the sun spot number is low then it doesn't mess with the earth. If we have lots of sun spots then we are going to have crazy weather. The sun produces light for us. Which gives us heat to keep us warm and so that we have light during the day. If we didn't care then we won't have natural light and we would all freeze.

The sun affects me in two ways by:
It produces light and heat
It also gives me a tan so i look good in the summer:)

Sunspots are super important if we don't have any then we can run into serious problems in space and with our weather here on earth.
