The Solar Cycle
Although it may look unchanging from the ground, the sun actually has a long-term pattern of change called the sunspot cycle. During one cycle the number of sunspots, and solar activity, increases and then decreases again. This process is driven by the flipping of the sun's poles the solar cycle www.nasa.gov/multimedia spacereports space reports

The number of sunspots increases and decreases over time in a regular, approximately 11-year cycle, called the sunspot cycle. The exact length of the cycle can vary. It has been as short as eight years and as long as fourteen, but the number of sunspots always increases over time, and then returns to low again.

Solar Cycle Maximum On Its Way
Solar Cycle Maximum On Its Way
Activity on the Sun is due to reach its peak around early 2014, so expect more flares, eruptions and ejections for the next few years. Early predictions say the estimated Sun activity between 2020-2030 may not be nearly as intense as the 2000-teens.

Second Biggest Flare of the Solar Cycle, 06.03.2012
Second Biggest Flare of the Solar Cycle, 06.03.2012
This movie of the March 6, 2012 X5.4 flare was captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in the 171 and 131 Angstrom wavelength. One of the most dramatic features is the way the entire surface of the sun seems to ripple with the force of the eruption. This movement comes from something called EIT waves -- because they were first discovered with the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on the Solar Heliospheric Observatory. Since SDO captures images every 12 seconds, it has been able to map the full evolution of these waves and confirm that they can travel across the full breadth of the sun. The waves move at over a million miles per hour, zipping from one side of the sun to the other in about an hour. The movie shows two distinct waves. The first seems to spread in all directions; the second is narrower, moving toward the southeast. Such waves are associated with, and perhaps trigger, fast coronal mass ejections, so it is likely that each one is connected to one of the two CMEs that erupted on March 6.

NASA Warns About Solar Cycle 24
NASA Warns About Solar Cycle 24
Solar Cycle 24 is the 24th solar cycle since 1755, when recording of solar sunspot activity began. It is the current solar cycle, and began on 8 January 2008. The cycle continues to fall below predictions and is currently exhibiting 50% lower sunspot activity than predicted in May 2009. It is predicted that Solar Cycle 24 will peak in May 2013 with about 58 sunspots. This would make it the least active cycle since solar cycle 6, which ended in the year 1823. According to NASA, the intensity of geomagnetic storms during Solar Cycle 24 may be elevated in some areas where the Earth's magnetic field is weaker than expected. This fact was discovered by the THEMIS spacecraft in 2008. A 20-fold increase in particle counts that penetrate the Earth's magnetic field may be expected. Speculation: Solar Cycle 24 has been the subject of various hypotheses and commentary pertaining to its potential effects on Earth. Without suggesting that the next solar maximum will be unusually destructive to Earth, astrophysicist Michio Kaku has taken advantage of the media focus on the 2012 phenomenon to draw attention to the need to develop strategies for coping with the terrestrial damage that solar activity can inflict. He asserts that governments should ensure the integrity of electrical infrastructures, so as to prevent a recurrence of disruption akin to that caused by the solar storm of 1859. The current solar cycle is currently the subject of research, as it does not appear to be generating <b>...</b>

CLICK HERE ---►► Follow Me On Twitter: bit.ly ◄◄--- Source Video: youtu.be Source: wikipedia Solar maximum or solar max is the period of greatest solar activity in the solar cycle of the sun. During solar maxima, large numbers of sunspots appear.[1] A solar maximum is the period when the sun's magnetic field lines are the most distorted due to the magnetic field on the solar equator rotating at a slightly faster pace than at the solar poles.[citation needed] The solar cycle takes an average of about 11 years to go from one solar maximum to the next, with an observed variation in duration of 9 to 14 years for any given solar cycle. Large solar flares often occur during a maximum. For example, the Solar storm of 1859 struck the Earth with such intensity that the northern lights could be seen as far south as Rome, approximately 42° north of the equator.

Powerful sun / our Solar System / 11 year Sunspot cycle 22 year Solar cycle / Solar cycle 24
Telescopes spotted the first blemish on the sun in 1611. While the sun had long been thought—at least in the Western world—to be an unchanging, "perfect" orb, sky-watchers observed black sunspots on the sun's surface that circled around as with the sun's rotation. The number of sunspots increase and decrease over time in a regular, approximately 11-year cycle, called the sunspot cycle. The exact length of the cycle can vary. It has been as short as eight years and as long as fourteen, but the number of sunspots always increases over time, and then returns to low again. More sunspots mean increased solar activity, when great blooms of radiation known as solar flares or bursts of solar material known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) shoot off the sun's surface. The highest number of sun spots in any given cycle is designated "solar maximum," while the lowest number is designated "solar minimum." Each cycle varies dramatically in intensity with some solar maxima being so low as to be almost indistinguishable from the preceding minimum. One such set of cycles famously occurred from 1645 to 1715 and is known as the Maunder Minimum. Those who watched the sun could count enough change in sunspot number that they could still track cycles, but the overall sunspot number dropped drastically. One thirty-year period showed only 30 sunspots, one thousandth of what is typically seen. The timing of the Maunder Minimum corresponded to what's called the Little Ice Age in Europe—a time of <b>...</b>

As of December 22 '09 there are five active regions: spaceweather.com - This clip is not intended to support nor should be used as "evidence" for either side of the climate change debate. It's simply a demonstration of how quiet the sun is just now, and how it is having an effect on shortwave radio reception for hams and the like.----endThere's currently quite a big lull in the sunspot count on the Sun."So?" you ask...Shortwave radio in general is best when there's things going on with the Sun - the amount of sunspots on the Sun relates to how well the ionosphere, the part of the atmosphere that refracts radio waves, can propagate shortwave signals.Otherwise, they break the burly bonds of Earth and escape into space.Godspeed little signals. Godspeed.Amateur operators, spy number stations, and other more obscure items of interest on shortwave need friendlier solar conditions.Alas, all we can do is wait. There's other stuff to do of course besides shortwave listening......maybe.In addition to not being able to receive, say, the Voice of Belarus, or something, there's been talk of the heliopause, the big bubble around the solar system, weakening and allowing in more deadly cosmic rays to the inner solar system.Maybe that's something to think about...

Solar Cycle Ramping Up, Three Years in Seconds [Hinode/XRT]
Solar Cycle Ramping Up, Three Years in Seconds [Hinode/XRT]
This movie shows XRT's view of the Sun over the last three years. The ~27 day rotation period whirls by in seconds, showing the increase in solar activity as we approach the maximum of a roughly 11 year cycle in 2013 (though the current cycle has been atypical of the canonical picture). The structure of the corona, seen here, is determined largely by the emergence of magnetic fields into the solar atmosphere as they well up from the Sun's interior, a result of the solar dynamo.

Each cycle, varies dramatically in intensity, with some solar maxima being so low as to be almost indistinguishable from the preceding minimum. Sunspots are a magnetic phenomenon and the entire sun is magnetized with a north and a south magnetic pole just like a bar magnet. The comparison to a simple bar magnet ends there, however, as the sun's interior is constantly on the move. By tracking sound waves that course through the center of the sun, an area of research known as helioseismology, scientists can gain an understanding of what's deep inside the sun. They have found that the magnetic material inside the sun is constantly stretching, twisting, and crossing as it bubbles up to the surface. The exact pattern of movements is not conclusively mapped out, but over <b>...</b>

She presented the case for the existence and power of angels in the Earth plane, and related people's extraordinary encounters with these beings. Angels are part of our physiological makeup -- every person has guardian angels around them "in the same way that every person has lungs or a heart," she said. It's something that's part of our life force here on Earth, she continued, adding that angels are not spirits of the deceased, but ego-less beings aligned with the highest purpose. Virtue has collected accounts of people being helped in great times of need by mysterious strangers who have exotic or glowing eyes. They perform a lifesaving intervention and then disappear, or deliver an important message that the person needs to hear, she detailed. Guardian angels reside in an adjacent dimension to ours, and vibrate at a higher rate, she explained. In one angelic intervention, a woman named Allison was in danger of a car accident, when she heard a voice telling her to pull over and stop, and then an unseen hand actually turned the steering wheel to the <b>...</b>
