That mean old solar spot caused a cathode ray to escape from my old TV set
and that is why it don't work no more!

> Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a
reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The
wait is over. A magnetically reversed, high-latitude sunspot emerged today.
This marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new
solar maximum.  Intense solar activity won't begin right away.  Solar cycles
usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to
Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012).  It's a slow journey, but we're on our
way!
