Big Sunspot

People are interested in the group, Sunspot 1029 because it is the most active sunspot of 2009. It has trippled its amount of flairs in the last 10 months. The "deep solar minimum" has been described to be like the stock market. You don't believe it can go any lower, until it does. The number of sunspots is lowering. This is related to the Sunspot 1029 group, because sunspots are supposed to fluxuate dramatically over 10 year time spans, but we are worried that it is droppping too low. We care about sunspots on earth because they can affect the Earth's climate. They give off a solar wind, which affects our communications with space and satellites.
