SUNSPOTS ARE VANISHING

Today, July 5th, the sun is blank–no sunspots. White light images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory show no dark cores anywhere on the solar disk. This marks the 44th day in 2017 without sunspots. So many blank suns is a clear sign that Solar Minimum is approaching.

SOLAR MINIMUM: THE SUN IS GETTING QUIETER AND IS DISPLAYING SOME VERY WEIRD BEHAVIOR
BY HANNAH OSBORNE ON 7/3/17 AT 7:10 PM

The sun is about to enter a period of quiet, known as a solar minimum. This cycle happens every 11 years and is characterized of decreased activity—when sunspots fade away and produce fewer solar flares. With this latest period of inactivity approaching, scientists have been monitoring the sun to better understand some of the unusual activity observed over recent years.

In a study published in May the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team of scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Denmark analyzed 31 years’ worth of data from the Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON)—a group of six ground-based telescopes that provide constant monitoring of the sun’s oscillations. In the study, Yvonne Elsworth and colleagues studied the sound waves from the sun over the last three solar minimums to see how they have changed during different periods of activity. Elsworth will present the findings at the National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Hull, U.K., on Tuesday.

“The sun is very much like a musical instrument except that its typical notes are at a very low frequency—some 100,000 times lower than middle C,” she said in a statement. “Studying these sound waves, using a technique called helioseismology, enables us to find out what's going on throughout the Sun's interior."

Snippet:

There are unique space weather effects that get stronger during solar minimum. For example, the number of galactic cosmic rays that reach Earth’s upper atmosphere increases during solar minimum. Galactic cosmic rays are high energy particles accelerated toward the solar system by distant supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy.

Pesnell says that “During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field weakens and provides less shielding from these cosmic rays. This can pose an increased threat to astronauts traveling through space.”

Tammy,

I can just imagine people watching with their jaw dropped wide open, frozen in amazement while others running away in sheer terror not knowing what is happening..


A Big Amen, Tammy, what a way to go indeed....UP UP AND AWAY - MARANATHA!!!!
