THE SUN TODAY: 31 January 2012 - Dance of the Magnetosphere

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SUN TODAY? (FULL SCREEN!)

As the Sun is braindead at the moment I thought it might be fun to do something a little different .... Enjoy.

Note how the Magnetosphere collaspes way down when hit by a CME and then springs back again

[PHONEYPOLITICS]

could this have anything to do with the strange noises / sounds being heard worldwide since january Dr K?

[drkstrong]

@PHONEYPOLITICS I understand the strange noises were an elaborate hoax. So, no it doesnt.

[PhatPhat818]

we should be at the point where everyone has self contained power at their home. and water filtration. ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. we know why we are not there yet....so how do we get there....with this "bubble" they have us in. I WANT OUT THE BUBBLE!

[drkstrong]

@PhatPhat818 I have been trying to doing that but our homeowner's association doesnt allow solar panels

[ahura999]

for those interested ...Z-PINCH - Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity- Anthony L. Peratt et al .

[shaggietrip]

@drkstrong Thank you for the reply. I may look into this a bit more when I have the time.

Stay well

@yungdannyboy Kuku is not a representative of NASA (I think he hypes stuff to sell more books) - his description of the solar cycle is laughable in the 1st clip

Josh Lewis is a little more accurate (not much) but he isnt representing NASA or NOAA's opinion either

3rd clip Kuku again - hyping some more

The scientists at NASA and NOAA met in Boulder Co in 08, 9 & 10 and tied to forcast the cycle. I was at the 1st meeting. 2 camps: 1 hi & 1 lo cycle - looks like lo's are right so far

@drkstrong

Here are the links....../watch?v=zjF8fk6hjZ­E&feature=related and /watch?v=XaDxwe8l3us and /watch?v=nj5ZBJM8jso&feature=r­elated

All of these are mainstream media with a real astro-physicist to back up the claim

[PhatPhat818]

@drkstrong yea like solar panels and free power and water filtration should be pushed like ciggaretes

[drkstrong]

@yungdannyboy I dont think NASA has confirmed that Cycle 24 will be bad. In fact it has forecast a very low cycle compared to those of previous years. I can find no reference to such a claim or any rebuttle of it.

[drkstrong]

@yungdannyboy A consequence of Global Warming. I live just down the road from you in the DC metro area and we have had daffodils out in out garden since before Xmas! I have played golf every week throughout december and january. Expect more extreme weather like this.
