Description

This is sunspot AR2833 on 6-22-2021 as it is rotating toward the leading limb. It will go around to the far side and disappear from view in a matter of days and as of now, that will leave the sun's disk free of sunspots again. As it has tracked across the sun's disk, it has been quite tame, never sending out anything that could cause geomagnetic effects here on earth (ie, no flares). It is getting a little spooky with regard to the paucity of sunspots on the sun.
