Apparently the Sun has had a lot fewer sunspots this year than it normally has in recent years as we move into a solar minimum, including none (or possibly one, depending on who you talk to) in the month of August. While at 43 days that's not much more than the 42 day spotless period twelve years ago (one solar cycle ago), its the first spotless calendar month in 50 or 100 years (again depends on that debatable spot - out, damn spot!).
I guess Sol decided it was summer vacation time, or maybe that measles shot finally worked...
