Is the sun getting a lot *BRIGHTER* or is it just me? why would it get bright like that? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1126493  United States11/22/2010 11:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have noticed that just with the naked eye, the sun seems to be getting a lot brighter. Quoting: knoxvillerocksThe sun startled me when I went out today around noon here in Texas. It was radiant white and dazzling; extremely hot on the bare skin. The brightness made me wince. It was not normal. |

Follower of YHWH  User ID: 1172152 United States11/22/2010 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been seeing thread after thread about this same thing. I agree! I remember the sun being a much more yellow hue. It seems SO bright and piercing now, like it goes right through your body. I've lived in Florida all my life and I can absolutely say without a doubt that the sun seems brighter now than two ears ago and much more than five years ago. **For those interested, my avatar is the American Civil flag.

| mavric User ID: 1064293 United States11/23/2010 12:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was talking to my dad a couple of weeks back, and he is 83 and he asked me if the sun was brighter. I remember being able to cover my brow with my hand and being able to look towards it some (not into directly) but now you cant even get into the vacenity without it's harsh glare. And yes, the sun used to be yellow but is so damn bright white now. Which is odd because our current solar cycle 24 has been low on sunspots. I know sunspots have nothing to do with the brightness of the sun, but the sun's magnitism is always weakening. I wonder if the reduction of its magnetic field has something to do with it.

Quoting: wolverinei swear the sun used to be yellow. You are correct. The Sun used to be yellow. Driving into the setting/rising Sun without very dark sunglasses is practically impossible.

The part that did catch those rays, turned almost white like it was bleached. The rest exactly the same deep dark blue. The sun bleached it almost white in a matter of days with only the morning lights rays. That, I am not used to from the past. I used to fish everyday after work and on weekends. It is not uncommon to have had any of my shirts dropped on the deck for those same hrs and not have any show these same conditions. This leads me to believe the rays are stronger, a different type of ray or spectrum that caused this. I saw a neighbor with a sweatshirt same color and same effect. I asked him how it happened and was about same as mine. He had left it on his wood pile almost a month. Said the part the sun hit turned white while rest stayed blue.

This sounds like a test we can actually do ourselves to check how strong the sun really is right now. I know personally that it used to take quite a long time for a shirt to sun-bleach. I think I'm going to try this tomorrow. **For those interested, my avatar is the American Civil flag. It is the REAL American flag and it is the one we as civilian Americans should be flying.

Quoting: Follower of YHWHI can take some pictures that should show it easy enough on 2 shirts that laid on that table. Same effect but different parts affected. Wouldn't be much to shout that neighbor and get a pic of his sweatshirt also. Would have to be in a few days. At least one of my shirts is in the basement right now, fixing to be washed. Other I am not sure where I put it, not in the sun though. It happens fast, I know that. And again, not common when I know I have exposed these same brand IBEW work shirts to far more rays for longer times and never seen this happen before. My 2 have not been washed since I found them that way, I left them. Was going to wash one when the neighbor said didn't work on his. Just realized this wasn't perfectly clear when I re-read it. My 2 shirts were close to the window sill , but inside, his was outside on the log pile. Mine had the same effect his had, even through the window glass and for less time. Mine only saw morning light, his all day. Glass is known to deflect some light rays, but not the ones that caused the bleaching.

But there was several rainy days in that month. 30 x 5 = 150 - 20% for rain. 20% x 150 = 30 so approximately 120 hrs. My neighbors sweat shirt is worse seeing as it was all day in the sun about the same days, his is almost white in similar pattern. His was an average 8 counting shade from trees(maybe) and cloud/rain days. 8 x 30 = 240 Theories: Misconceptions awaiting confirmation of incorrectness.

Quoting: knoxvillerocksI take a lot of pictures. I love taking pictures of nature and have been doing so for many years. I have noticed that just with the naked eye, the sun seems to be getting a lot brighter. Is there a good reason for this. I realized this about a month ago. I was taking photos of my son's soccer games and no matter what day I took a photo of the sun, it was so very bright there was a line coming up and down the center of the photo in front of the sun. It did not matter the angle. Just the other day I was driving and it blinded me even with glasses on. I have been driving for many years and have never ever seen it as such. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I have no idea why? Is it normal? should I worry? I was taking a video of contrails and chemtrails for youtube when I noticed how bright it was again today...nuts I am not some crazy person but just want someone else's input.... I have photos but have no idea how to post them. The photos are of like five different days. Its brighter as the sun is closer to the earth during the wintertime,,research it |

| ObeWayneKenobe User ID: 1022625 United States11/23/2010 11:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Sun IS getting brighter......that's because it's about to burn out! Many years ago when I worked in an Assay Office, running assay's on precious metals; I witness an interesting phenomenon: During the cupel process when a piece of gold was about to finish(separate from the lead, in the oven).......it would flare up into a very bright little ball of flame, and then suddenly solidify! The Sun is basically doing the same thing.....only in a different way! |
