Does this rise is cosmic ray density have to do with going into minimum?

Btw Merry Christmas Men and Women of the sun.

Merry Christmas ya'll!

We are hoping for some White snow!

Yes, I believe so.

Merry, Happy Holidays to everyone here at Solar Thread, Nin, thanks again!!

Very well could be. It really shouldn't pick up until months after the complete flip as we should still have solar storms present, although we haven't had many the last 6 months


Merry Christmas solar family!

and Merry Christmas to all...

A smallish chunk of filament leapt off in the SW at approx. 01:45z.

Goodnight all.

Gnight Hugh! peace and much love your way!

Hey Shad, and Hugh, thanks for keeping the light on Hugh. Have a nice Day tomorrow. All's well!

Merry Christmas to All.

May the New World of the next Golden Age begin with each of Us.....within and to Out!

Please forgive me if this has been posted already;

Data delivered by ESA’s Cluster quartet of satellites shows that it is easier for the solar wind to penetrate Earth’s magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, than had previously been thought.

Using Rumba, Salsa, Samba and Tango satellites as a space plasma microscope, scientists have zoomed in on the solar wind to reveal tiny turbulent swirls that could play a big role in heating it.

Also scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. have, for the first time, directly observed the presence of certain waves in the solar wind—called Kelvin-Helmholtz waves that can help transfer energy into near-Earth space—under circumstances when previous theories predicted they were not expected.

Turbulence is highly complex and all around us, evident in water flowing from a tap, around an aircraft wing, in experimental fusion reactors on Earth, and also in space.

In the stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun – the solar wind – turbulence is thought to play a key part in maintaining its heat as it streams away and races across the Solar System. As the solar wind expands, it cools down, but to a much smaller extent than would be expected if the flow were smooth.

Turbulence arises from irregularities in the flow of particles and magnetic field lines, but understanding how this energy is transferred from the large scales where it originates, to the small scales where it is dissipated, is like trying to trace energy as it is transferred from the smooth, laminar flow of a river down to the small turbulent eddies formed at the bottom of a waterfall.

Two of the four Cluster satellites have also made extremely detailed observations of plasma turbulence in the solar wind.
