It's like the most important city on the planet. Other then that I have no idea. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

This impressive sunspot, which rotated over the sun's western limb three days ago, does not add to the sunspot number because it is no longer visible from Earth. Astronomers only count spots that are on the Earth-facing side of the sun. That's how it's been done since Rudolph Wolf invented the sunspot number in 1848. In those days, only one side of the sun was visible from Earth, so the tradition was established.
Now, however, for the first time in the history of astronomy, NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft are seeing over the sun's horizon, tracking sunspots that officially "don't count."
The two spacecraft are moving toward opposite sides of the sun, and by February 2011 the entire sun will be under their watchful eyes. Perhaps it is time to start thinking about a "whole sun" sunspot number. As today's image shows, the sun is not always as blank as it appears to be.

This is the most important part of that story from space weather , They are really nothing more than an arm of NASA , This is not the first time Spaceweather or NASA has come forth to suggest counting the Sunspots in an attempt to hide from the public that Sunspots despite a large area from time to time have pretty much vanished .And they lie about the total counting . There is more or less a record though it is not complete but dates back to the 1750's . It has always been counted and the deception of counting areas that can not be seen or are only around for a few hours needs to be stopped . At one time there were standards and these people whom are now keeping the records are on purpose skewing data

Before Sunspot 1029 there was an area they counted as a sunspot because it looked almost as if October would be yet another month without a sunspot .Sunspot 1028 on October 20th was active less than 3 hours and it was gone. I'm old enough to remember back in the day that an area had to be no less than the size of the United States to count and if it did not last 24 hours it was not counted

So what could be causing this? Maybe a black hole is approaching and sucking up these particles?

No i think the problem lies whitin the sun itself i mean there is clearly something that started at the end of solar cycle 23 as the sun began to be very quietand solar cycle 24 isn't starting as it should be.
It's like inhaling to exhale that's how the sun works the problem now is that it is only inhaling without breating out!
Which means that the magnetic pressure is building withing the sun itself without being released.
This can't be a good thing can it?
And look at the size of the last spot it is clearly not logic to have a spot of this size in a blank sun???????????????????????????
Really the sun is doing very weird!

That's pretty much my thought either.
The sun is too quiet the solar wind is too weak or like today non existant plus i noticed there were some spikes now and extreme spikes recorded on the nict web page but not on spaceweater charts makes you wonder sometimes.....
