  • @FreakeThings This video just gave a short description of what is happening. If you go to NASA's website, then you will find much more information about the matter. It is far more entailed than can be put into a 10-minute Youtube video, for sure.

  • @arranpies Lol, Oh Grow Up!

  • Her sound like a Gay...!

  • @SpanishThug i hope we wont became frozen soon))

  • Again..June 2011...didn't they just say all the sun spots disappeared and the only other time we have seen the sun do this was back in the 17th century?...

  • Didn't they just say that We were suppose to hit our Hight point in 2012 2013...But...instead of this occuring.... all the sun spots went bye bye..and they just put out this week that It is showing a pattern of going to a period of..."cold"...so to speak.... And that the last time this happened...was..Oh....The 17th Century..which was directly related to loss of Crops...Famine and disease... a little something called the black plague... And the sun stayed liked this for decades..hmm...uh oh?

  • I really like these videos but this one started and after about 15 seconds I had to pause it. Why would anyone ever let this guy do a voice over. Just a weird creepy voice. Lame I really wanted to see this.

  • ...& eye ask you (not UNlike Rony Raygun in his "Common Unify Threat" spiel to sell yanky tax payer on Military Industrial Complex tax trough refiling);

    ~is humanity closer to spending a few dollars to learn how to detect these events, should on be inbound to our Heliosphere or even the study of previous Space Weather Extinction Event Potentials similar to this common occurrence

    =or have we allow the shame of our collective negligence dissuade us from the Mandate to Heaven & Star Trek Survival ?

  • @Tilekist - He does sound a bit like he's 'good with colours though'...

  • Right, I dont want to be mean but that voice is annoying and distracting. they should get someone who sounds like Stephen Fry to do the voice overs because it would sound so much better

  • ooh its Cleaveland again!
