Sunspots in pairs

So far this year, one out of two days we see sunspots. Last year we had 32 days without sunspots.
Currently we have three pairs of sunspots. Sunspots mostly show up as pairs. This is because one "spot" is where the magnetic fieds leaves the photosphere and the magnetic fields re-entries in the other one. By convention, north is when the magnetic fields leaves the photosphere and re-entry is south.
