R.I.P. for the real Wubbo Ockels. He was a true icon of my country, and a great front-fighter for sustainable energie/technology and humanism. "Yes, we have hurdles, we have distractions, we have disasters, personally and world-wide, and we do have to work it all out ourselves. BUT, there is a most amazing experience awaiting us on the other end of the finish-line. The idea being, once we can handle it all down here, then we can live and explore eternally, responsibly, because we know what not to do, and not be resentful about being responsible, so we don't start a polarity domino effect in the other realms of existence." "The Fraction" of Life can be increased in value not so much by increasing your Numerator as by lessening your Denominator. Nay, unless my Algebra deceive me, Unity itself divided by Zero will give Infinity." Thread: LADIES & GENTLEMEN: I PRESENT to YOU OUR NEW SUN !! |

Anonymous astrophysicist User ID: 1397298 United States 01/08/2013 08:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ive got 5 bucks that says it fizzles out, just like all the spots that come around to earth facing. Quoting: jonesin I would really like to know why? Ive read we need small flares to keep everything working correctly, we have not had any significant flares for how long now? how many months does the sun just fizzle out? too much, nothing will happen as usual. just high hopes This is not so. The answer lies in the orientation of the Sun , Earth, galactic plane and galactic center, and the direction the Earth and Sun is moving through the increasing mass of plasma as approach the precise galactic plane.. I am NOT yet ready to provide specifics and explanations, but if I were you I would scrap that idea. I have people (so called scientists and astrophysicists) outright stealing and plagiarizer my information and publishing it as their own which doesn't really concern me as long as the information goes mainstream, but I have told "them" I will refuse to post specifics until they leave my thread open for three days, and I will stop posting usable information the instant it is closed again. |

Quoting: Just the facts! yup..protected..again! well, in my opinion It takes 1 week to make a rotation, and sunspots usually break down every two weeks... so I think your kinda wrong. |

Your an idiot, trust me I know because I am one also, but I do know CME's flares, whatever, are very important, and the lack of activity from the sun is not good in the long term. |

There were several much larger and magnetically complex sunspots during the last solar maximum and this one will not erupt while geo effective, That all depends on the magnetosphere's integrity... Sunspots this cycle seem to be more geo effective in my opinion, breaching our atmosphere quite chaotically this cycle. Again on the 5th there was already activity in this region. Its a two sided coin. I assume we wait to see what happens... |
