Typical NASA ... Never A Straight Answer.

Too MANY questions side stepped, making it more like a lecture about the sun, in JUNIOR High School.

I'm sure the excuse would be that the info was for " the general public " , and as we have ONLY the equivalent of an eighth grade education on average, more was NOT needed. Just another excuse to either NOT tell us WHAT they know, OR, they DON'T know what is coming ! The latter is MORE probable, since they are ADMITING the 'unusual' X-Flares that are NOT 'supposed to be' in the middle of a solar cycle; i.e. a 'solar minimum'.

I was aboard the USS Norton Sound ( a seaplane tender ) in 1946 when civilian scientists aboard were measuring the 1946 sunspot maximum with instruments. As part of the radio shack, I can verify that we were without communication with the USA for TEN days; our radios could ONLY pick up a commercial radio station in Washington, D.C. and NO outgoing messages were possible.

A large seaplane, coming from Goose Bay, Labador with 8 LARGE sacks of mail, lost all compass direction over the Canadian wilds and started circling over the vast wilderness. We WERE in radio contact and sent out our own Scout Observation Planes, one of which accidently spotted them through a hole in the clouds and lead them to our ship. They barely had enough gas left to taxi to the ship.

The entire crew of the plane was ostricized by the crew for the five day stay, as we found out they threw overboard all eight sacks of mail (to save on gas), many of which contained NEW baby pictures, sweetheart letters, etc.

Original Message "Researchers from the University of Colorado believe
the next solar cycle (Solar Cycle 24)
will be the most intense in 50 years." - NASA, August
15, 2006

...When Cycle 24 arrives – the grand pattern will
flip. Northern sunspots will become north to south,
while those in the south will change south to north.
This magnetic flipping action occurs every time one
solar cycle gives way to another.

That little July 31st sunspot emerged in the southern
hemisphere with its magnetic poles backward in the
south to north position – perhaps a harbinger that the
next solar cycle is beginning.
