Remember this rubbish

Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one. Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 "looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center. He and colleague Robert Wilson presented this conclusion last week at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco


Well their at it again

Solar Cycle 25 peaking around 2022 could be one of the weakest in centuries.


The Sun's Great Conveyor Belt has slowed to a record-low crawl, according to research by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. "It's off the bottom of the charts," he says. "This has important repercussions for future solar activity."

The Great Conveyor Belt is a massive circulating current of fire (hot plasma) within the Sun. It has two branches, north and south, each taking about 40 years to perform one complete circuit. Researchers believe the turning of the belt controls the sunspot cycle, and that's why the slowdown is important.

I dont believe a word they say,

Hey Pat

Jip. Just words....

I am now here in Namibia for almost 4 years and I have to say, that words/phenomenon "solar cycle" doesn’t always work here in the southern part of Africa...!

We are at the peak of our summer E skip,, and i have to say,, while some days are very good, there are too many quiet days,
And when i say quiet, i mean not a thing,

Fingers crossed for the next 2 years.
