'Silent' Sun surprises scientists

Posted by mx in Science

Mumbai, April 04: Scientists are surprised over the sudden "silence" of the Sun in the current 11-year cycle with the sunspot counts for this year having dropped considerably.

Every 11 years or so, the sunspots (a region on the Sun's surface marked by intense magnetic activity) on the surface of the Sun die out during the solar cycle minimum (quiet time).

Behaving almost like stock market, just when scientists thought it had hit the bottom, the sunspot cycle has gone even lower than expected by the solar astronomers.

Scientists had reported last year that they observed no sunspots on 266 days (73 per cent) out of 366, saying that the solar cycle had hit the bottom in 2008.

But this is not the case as the same scientists have observed an unusually quiet time for the Sun with the sunspot counts for 2009 having dropped even lower. As on March 31, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year's 90 days (87 per cent), NASA said.

"We are experiencing a very deep solar minimum," said solar physicist Dean Pensell of the Goddard space Flight Centre of NASA.

Historical records have shown that there were quiet periods lasting for hundred years between 1450 AD and 1550 AD called 'Sporer Minimum' and a 60-year period of quietness from 1645 AD to 1715 AD called 'Maunder Minimum' and therefore the scientists have to wait and observe, Senior astrophysicist of Tata Institute of fundamental Research Mayank Vahia told reporters here today.

What is the movie about? I've never heard of it.

Ed Dames is going to be on Coast this week!

F.I.A.T Currency

I thought it was a good movie, you can see my apartment in one of the scenes, when he is tellign the chick his fears. Shot in Melbourne Australia overlooking the Yarra river.

I knew they existed, I mean, we all know about Norad, Dulce, Denver airport, etc., but when you actually see how vast and high tech they are, really does make you wonder what they are preparing for. These can't all be based on cold-war-esque fears. They have to be thinking on a much larger scale.

I saw it.. it was an ehhh ok movie.

I dont think its going to happen

lets see that in 3-4 yrs from now

Why do you want to skip the alien part??

CONSPIRACY!!

I thought that at the end of the movie,god returns,kills the aliens,protect the planet,save all and free us from the jews!!!,but nah,that doesn´t happen...

I've never fully understood the concept of underground bases.

Why would you want to literally be under tons of rock when the very earth that is above you comes tumbling down due to massive earthquakes?

ditto

I saw it tonight too. Personally I don't believe that is the fate of our earth....

There will be changes though not as severe as that. Besides the sun has apparently gone dormant.
