so a thread titled "Sunspot #24 Largest Sunspot Maximum for 400 Years!!" has now become a topic of famous HAMs? Disregarding the fact the title should actually read, "Solar Cycle #24 ..etc." not Sunspot #24
Humble indeed! as Phage mentioned..

You have yet to present material to back up your theory of a massive solar maximum, without ignoring more up to date, evidence that does not support your theory.
Ah well. We only have to wait about 3 more years for time to disprove it I suppose.

Solar cycle is the periodic variation of the sun, dependant on the magnetic activity of the sun. It lasts approx 11 years and is observed by counting the number and placement of sunspots.
Sunspots are actual visual spots on the sun, which are formed by induction and the magnetic activity of the sun.
Also should be noted that the sun usually undergoes a magnetic reversal where its poles flip, and is usually noted by lots of sunspots appearing near the sun's equator. should also be of interest that it can actually skip this magnetic reversal on occasion also.
so solar cycle 24 would be our current solar cycle. sunspot #24 would be the 24th sunspot observed? Slightly misleading though I think most people understood the topic.
