How Long Will Our Sun Remain Quiet; We Need Global Warming
by Al Remington | October 30, 2009
One day, the recession is bad; the next day The Recession is Over – just like that. Is it so simple as saying so through the media and everything is ok now?
Global warming didn’t happen this time either but the media doesn’t know about it yet; the rolls of reporting are reversing. Eventually, maybe they will stop the treason, too.
The “media”; they try hiding the hoax of hoaxes.
How Long Will Our Sun Remain Quiet and Cosmic Rays Increase?
“We don’t have records prior to 1874 that give us details about the sun.
Compared to the past 130 years, our sun now is unprecedented as far as
how slow this Solar Cycle 24 is taking off – or not taking off!”
- David Hathaway, Ph.D., NASA Heliospheric Team Leader
October 30, 2009 Huntsville, Alabama – For twelve years, NASA has had a satellite positioned a million miles in front of Earth with the sun about 92 million miles beyond. Its mission has been to study particles that come near Earth from our sun, the solar system and the galaxy. The satellite is called Advanced Composition Explorer, or ACE, and some of the highly energetic particles ACE has been monitoring are cosmic rays.
Beginning six months ago, ACE satellite data showed a rise in cosmic rays reaching Earth from the Milky Way galaxy. By now, cosmic ray intensity has increased 19% because our sun is so quiet that its reduced magnetic field isn’t deflecting cosmic rays like it has the past few decades. If our sun remains quiet, there could be a 30% increase in cosmic rays reaching Earth in the next year or so – an intensity not seen since 1960. Increased cosmic rays can damage electronic systems and even DNA in living creatures.
Understanding the Peculiar
2008 – 2009 Solar Minimum
The number of days in 2009 without sunspots as of October 29, was 232, or 77% of the time the sun was blank.
Grab a sweater and mittens; th-th-th-there’s m-m-more at the link-bbrrrrrr.
