On Saturday, November 17 another solar cycle (25) sunspot was seen on the surface of the sun in the northern hemisphere at high
latitude with a white leading, black trailing magnetic polarity. The sunspot has been circled in white.
The one previous was on Friday, November 9.
If these reversed magnetic polarity sunspots keep surfacing more frequently, then solar cycle 25 will begin in 2019, a year earlier then forecasted.
