After an extraordinarily long period without lockheed strike sunspots, the number of sunspots again. The next maximum will be in 2013 and the cycle can be compared to 1859 when a solar flare caused so violently northern lights that you could read newspapers at night.

In January there were only two days with no spots on the sun's surface, and today sunspot 1043 evident in the northern part of the Sun. It can therefore be stated with certainty that the very long period without sunspots in 2008 and 2009, when there were only sunspots in a quarter lockheed strike of the days now past.
Many were otherwise begun to wonder if the sun was about to enter a prolonged period without sunspots similar to that which occurred in the 1600s during the period, now known as the Maunder minimum, where it was cold in the northern lockheed strike hemisphere.
A prolonged period without sunspots would have been a good opportunity to test Henrik Svensmark's hypothesis of no or very few sunspots generally colder climate on Earth. The possibility now seems nearly failed this time around.
The new solar cycle that has number 24, is expected to reach its peak in May 2013. A panel of experts from NOAA issued last year a report in which they stated that they only expected a solpletantal 90 at maximum - a relatively low number.
However, it is very difficult to predict solpletantallet and Mausumi Dikpati from the National Center of Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, USA suspect that solpletantallet can reach 150 The previous cycle had a maximum of about 120
Violent eruptions in 1859 set telegraph offices on fire Although solpletantallet that most however believe, not when the great heights, it is not a guarantee that there will be no violent phenomena on the solar surface. The violent solar flares ever recorded occurred in 1859 during a cycle, which was comparable to the one we are now expected to go in.
Telegraph wires were electrified, so they set telegraph offices on fire, and there were northern lights so bright that you could read newspapers at night in the red and green glow. A report by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States lockheed strike estimates that if something similar occurred today, would the damage to infrastructure could run up to 10,000 billion, and it would take 4-10 years to correct them. New satellite will study the Sun
It is therefore important in our high-tech society to know about sun activity. And the resurgence of the magnetic activity on the sun falls also to the fact that Nasa next week will launch the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to study variations in the Sun's magnetic field.
It is the first in the series of NASA satellites to study the Sun and is the cornerstone of the scientific program Living With a Star (LWS). SDO will be followed by satellites that will measure how the Sun and the solar wind influences the magnetosphere and ionosphere.

If now there has been a huge outbreak, and our magnetic field and atmosphere could not stop the cosmic strålig - which will mean the loss of many millions of lives if all electrical and electronic is destroyed by the radiation.
But imagine global catastrophe it will be in the Northern Hemisphere - no power, food, heat, satellites, gas, water, cars, fuel, communications ... Yes everything is electrical / electronic shorted.
Nasa says that the earth will be hit in late 2012 which also has been written about previously here on ing.dk Try googling "nasa solar storm 2012" to learn more or visit their website
The world's largest security addicts and try to solve the problems that they believe will arise technology, with a military complex that is second to none. But the thing is real problems in the modern world have a place motherly treatment. Their bridges collapse. A stordel of their population is illiterate St Louis flooded. The tilbagevndende economic collapse on Wall Street in 1929 and now, due to a more than foolish to no legislation on housing and leveraged investments.
So yes, we must be aware of what part of nature, the sun may cause, but we still can not control, and on the other hand, be careful not to listen too much for American prophets of doom that has to be part of ones through ages who have achieved world renown for their demagogic statements lockheed strike ....
