Sunspots Disappear for First Time Since February

The sun has been spotless for the first time in nearly seven months, with no visible sunspot regions on its Earth-facing side since February 24. Despite the lack of sunspots, low-level solar activity, including weak solar flares, continued near the sun's edges, and solar wind speeds remained moderate. This decline occurs as Solar Cycle 25 moves away from its peak, recorded in late 2024, with potential future increases in solar wind expected due to a changing coronal hole.
