Space Forum / Amateur Astronomy / July 2008our sleeping sun
The sun is in a time of amazing inactivity that began around last October and especially after such an active solar max cycle. Has anyone here observed this type of inactivity before? The sunspot count has been flat basically for many months. I hope the sun actually skips a sunspot maximum and we have this for another 12 years or so. Maybe then we can get some idea what affect the cycle has on climate. > The sun is in a time of amazing inactivity that began around last October > and especially after such an active solar max cycle.

NASA Science News for July 11, 2008 http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/images/solarcycleupdate/ssn_predict_l_st rip.gif The sun is entering its third year of eerie calm. Sunspots are rare and solar flares simply aren't happening. Is this "solar minimum" lasting longer than it should? A NASA scientist has examined centuries of sunspot data to find the answer, revealed in today's story from Science@NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/11jul_solarcycleupdate.htm?list89139 Check out our RSS feed at http://science.nasa.gov/rss.xml! It's 3rd year ?? That's just wrong. There was plenty of activity last year prior to Octorber roughly. Since then it's been truly calm and devoid of sunspots. >> The sun is in a time of amazing inactivity that began around last October >> and especially after such an active solar max cycle.

If you want to do real science, like the big boys, you need to take some care not to see anything you want to in the data.

Here's what I think: you are either sad and ignorant or just a troll pretending to be. Given that this is usenet I'm betting on the latter.

Either you are a grade school level science type or a dreamer. Jeeez..I guess the sun is to blame for the economy !! > On Jul 24, 12:09 am, "Tom Ash" <a...@gmail.com> wrote: >> The sun is in a time of amazing inactivity that began around last October [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Either you are a grade school level science type or a dreamer. > Jeeez..I guess the sun is to blame for the economy !! I know you're being sarcastic, but on a fundamental level, it does provide the conditions necessary for us lifeforms to have an economy. :) The Boulder K index was at 5 a couple of days ago..a Minimum Geomagnetic Storm level. So, I wouldn't say the sun is dead just yet! > The Boulder K index was at 5 a couple of days ago..a Minimum > Geomagnetic Storm level. > So, I wouldn't say the sun is dead just yet! No one said the sun is dead, the OP said sleeping. And I agree whole hardedly with that idea. > > The Boulder K index was at 5 a couple of days ago..a Minimum > > Geomagnetic Storm level. > > So, I wouldn't say the sun is dead just yet! > > No one said the sun is dead, the OP said sleeping. And I agree whole > hardedly with that idea. Fascinating article in the SF Chronicle earlier this week entitled "Satellites shed light on borealis' color romp".

AND WHEN THE WORLD TILTS YOU WILL FALL OFF (YOUR KIND OF THINKING) were you evan looking at the sun before you got into comp eng ?and how long?[me and my neibor used and made pin hole reflectors to observe the solar flares IN 1966 and I suggested blocking the center of image to see flares CME's!] again whats your major? ME 40 years of looking @sun. think out side the box (your tv monitor). we made parabolic dish to fry eggs back then to.(you were in diapers ? > The sun is in a time of amazing inactivity that began around last October > and especially after such an active solar max cycle.
