Given adverse climatic effects of the Sporer Minimum (1420-1570), Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) and Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) I was hoping for another minimum we could name the Gore Minimum. Hopefully these new sunspots won’t ruin it all.
Too bad we can’t really fully image a sun spot’s structure yet and have to make due with an image created in a computer by a mathematical model that may or may not be correct.
But then the structure is very deep too deep for present instruments to probe so a good guesstimate is the best we can do for now.
Though sun quakes could be used to help get some more data on the actual internal structure.
