Thanks @Astronuc ! Great input! ...Astronuc said:I was wondering about the current cycle. My wife had been asking me about radio interference the last several weeks, which I also noticed, and I assumed it was related to solar activity and the ionosphere, and related to the auroral activity.

AR2835 (captured in a sharp telescopic close-up from July 1 and published on APOD) spans about 150,000 kilometers or over ten Earth diameters. On June 25, AR2835 and AR2836 were just starting to come around to the Earth facing side of the sun.

Since then, AR2835 has grown from three (June 25) to four (June 28) to 12 (June 29) to 16 (June 30) .
Images were taken using the Slooh.com Canary Five solar telescope.
