We always get sunnier nicer weather with sun spots and I generally feel better. |

User ID: 74772411 United States 05/03/2019 11:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | DON't PANIC! The Sun is entering a deep Solar Minimum now and a significant geo-effective event is very unlikely now. Even the X9 flare of Sept. 2017 had little or no effect on most peoples' lives. As a confirmed 'Sun-tard', I find all sunspots fascinating, but I wouldn't raise undue alarm about a normal sunspot during Sol's weakest phase. Of course the Sun may unexpectedly go berserk tomorrow and scorch the Earth.... but I wouldn't bet on it happening this year. At the SOLAR WATCH thread, folks are always vigilant for Solar Activity, space eruptions and anomalies. Check it out here: Thread: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017!

This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them. ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1779 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75682040 United States 05/04/2019 12:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love these sunspot posts? Where's Jake? I mean an actual sunspot during a solar minimum with an ice age coming? Say it isn't so! LMAO! Let me put a few things out there... A sunspot can cause a solar flare. A solar flare can cause a coronal mass ejection. (CME) A coronal mass ejection can cause auroras (northern lights) and some ham radio interruptions. The worst solar flare was in 1859 and it didn't kill anyone A similar storm of the same magnitude could knock out the power grid in certain areas Most solar storms (even "X" flares) do little to no damage. Why does it knock out the power grid? During a solar storm, however, any saturated transformers draw on more reactive power than what normal control equipment can handle. This can lead to voltage collapse, when it's no longer possible to push the needed power through transmission wires. Even without a full collapse, fluctuating voltage in the transmission system can cause the grid to become unstable, which can impact transformers, relays, capacitors, and even the generators at power plants. Do we have a warning system in place? In 2007 NASA Goddard began a collaborative effort with EPRI called the Solar Shield Project, which uses monitoring data from several sun observatories to run state-of-the-art computer simulations and make solar storm predictions. Solar Shield first collects a constant stream of data from satellites such as the Solar and Heliophysics Observatory (SOHO) and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO). So what happens if there is a major flare that is deemed to impact our electric grid? If the storm is expected to be severe enough, "the most dramatic action is to close down the entire grid," Pulkkinen said. "If the system is turned off, the extra DC currents alone won't harm the transformers." Some of this info came from here: [link to news.nationalgeographic.com (secure)] So DOOM OFF! |

Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 77479757 United States 05/04/2019 12:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | True. But if you read on a bit it says that there is a humongous sunspot on the other side of the Sun and it's gradually turning our way. It's already had one mega-explosion but since it was pointed away it didn't matter. But if it has another while it's pointed at Earth...... "I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12 |
