“A February without Sunspots” is copyrighted by Alan Friedman (Averted Imagination). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteOur Sun's face was blank in February, without a single sunspot. This is a sign of a deep solar minimum, when the Sun's activity drops. Fewer sunspots mean the Sun is slightly dimmer and the solar wind, a stream of particles flowing from the Sun, is less intense. This quiet period is part of the Sun's natural 11-year cycle.
