Summary

DescriptionSSN Predict NASA.gif	NASA Sunspot Number Predictions For Solar Cycle 23 and 24 GIF files of monthly sunspot predictions made by Dr. David H. Hathaway from March 2004 to present were collected from various Internet locations including the two original websites. The GIF files were placed in correct chronological order and animated using Advanced GIF Animator. As new monthly predictions as issued, the animated image will be updated. GIF files before March 2004 were also collected but were in a different form factor and are not included here.
Date	March 2004 to preset date, as monthly images are available.

current	22:01, 3 July 2010	1,024 × 768 (7.14 MB)	Michael Ronayne	The NASA prediction for the magnitude of Solar maximum continues to decrease and as of July 2010 is given as June/July 2013 with a sunspot number of 64.1. Cycle 24 Sunspot Number Prediction (July 2010) Year Mon 95% 50% 5% 2013 6 90.5 64.1 37.7
	11:23, 7 August 2009	1,024 × 768 (5.32 MB)	Michael Ronayne	NASA Sunspot prediction was reduced by 3.2 in August 2009 to 81.9 from 85.1 in July 2009; Solar Maximum remained unchanged at March-April 2013.
	09:48, 7 June 2009	1,024 × 768 (4.92 MB)	Michael Ronayne	As solar activity begins to show some slight increase, the June 2009 sunspot prediction is unchanged from May 2009.
	02:13, 18 May 2009	1,024 × 768 (4.71 MB)	Michael Ronayne	The newest Sunspot prediction from NASA, dated May 2009, contains a significant decrease in the Sunspot count a Solar maximum which in now projected to occur between March and April 2113 and have a value of 85.5.
	17:33, 3 April 2009	1,024 × 768 (4.51 MB)	Michael Ronayne	April 2009 update with reduced confidence level in the Sunspot predictions.
	05:26, 8 March 2009	1,200 × 768 (4.31 MB)	Michael Ronayne	Solar maximum for Solar Cycle 24 was pushed back an additional three (3) months from 2012/10-2012/11 to 2013/01-2013/02. The predicted sunspot number at solar maximum was reduced from 104.9 to 104.0.
