Has the sun "gone to sleep ...?" (1 Viewer)

[Campercaillie]

We should at the moment be experiencing a peak in solar activity, based on the sun's 11-year cycle, but scientists are said to be baffled as to why the sun is so 'quiet.' It seems it is an extremely rare event and they are comparing it to the "Maunder minimum" of the 17th/18th century, when the Thames froze over and which also coincided with the onset of the "mini ice-age"........

Very interesting analysis...

my fault

Blame me, I am in Durness hoping for a Northern Light sighting, slim chance anyway, looks like zero chance now, just glad we had not paid to go to Norway

It will all kick off the day after we leave
