The sun is still blank...

no sunspots. Check out SpaceWeather.com.


The sun controls the Earth's climate more than anything that humans can do, so it is good to stay informed about it.

Check out the section about sunspot numbers also (currently, of course, it's 0). There is an interesting graph of the number of sunspots between 1610 and 2000. NASA also has a site here with further information about the sunspot cycle. Interesting reading also about the Maunder Minimum.
