SUNSPOT AR1476 , we are entering the line of fire...

[William Gaatjes]

Exciting days are ahead. Sunspot AR1476 which is large enough in size to be seen without the aid of telescope, is becoming unstable. It harbors an incredible amount of energy. And we are slowly entering the line of fire as the surface of the sun slowly rotates around...

Listening to the radiowaves generated by the crackling of the sunspot.

Very interesting turn of events, always been fascinated with this stuff. Thanks for the link.

You can see it without a telescope? I looked in Miami, I looked in Negril, but the closest I came was a month old bill.

Ho hum, just another turn in the 11 year sun spot cycle, the previous decade has been marked as a low point in sun spots, the earth should have cooled but polar ice melting instead increased.

Now we can expect to have an increased number of sunspots for the next three years or more, as a few medium M sized sunspots are aimed at the earth, but no X class sized events yet. But the 1859 Carrington event, was caused by two X classed sunspots, one right after the other aimed directly at earth with less than a week in between. As the other point is, X class sunspots events not aimed at the earth are far less dangerous to our electrical grid. We have had 15 solar cycles since 1859 and no repeat of the Carrington event.

But the other point, net solar energy output increases with increased sun spot activity. Any doubters of MMGW, may be soon dope slapped by mounting evidence.

Boober, you can't look directly at the sun and see sunspots without blinding your self. But smart people since the 16'th century simply use lens to focus the solar disk onto a screen, and then sunspots show up clearly and safely.

Just because you are too stupid and cheap to verify it for your self, does not mean sunspots are not happening. Of course with better satellite technology, the human race can see and tracks sunspots in increasing detail.

She packed up her bags and she
took off down the road
Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed

She left me here stranded like
a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure had a real good time

I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and
They said she was gone
I can't understand why she did me so wrong

But she packed up her bags
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/cYxAnd she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

I looked in Miami

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
She left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She used my address and my name
Put my credit to shame
Sunspot Baby
Sure had a real good time
Yeah Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime,sometime

I looked but now all I see are spots on everything:'(

Thanks for the links, hopefully we don't get a full blast from it, so much potential to hurt our fragile electronics...

LIBERAL RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

They say having a pet lowers stress, but I think you'd probably pet a bunny to death.

 

[Jaskalas]

You... think a normal sunspot is something note worthy.

 

[BoomerD]

So THAT explains why it's 97 fucking degrees on my back porch today...

It's just too damned early for it to be this hot. (although, it's not really all that uncommon)

Wow and garhoodie, Bobberpuss, what inspiring reasoning you have. You can call me liberal liberal, radical, conservative, or any nasty name you want, but sunspots still exists, as you exhibit all the reasoning ability of an amoeba.

There are none so blind as those that refuse to see. As your understanding of science is at least 500 years out of date. Are you proud of your total ignorance? Or afraid of verifying sunspots for your self.?

 

[Jaskalas]

Btw, here's something to wet your pants over. Compare the image of a real sunspot (or two) to the piddly thing we've got now.

Good find Jaskalas.

Come on, don't spoil it.

For all the accusations of "Faux Rage" around here, it's funny to watch a "liberal" get all red faced because he's too stupid and/or ignorant to realize he should just shut his mouth.

I knew I felt the triangle of a laser targeting system moving into position.

Moonbeam copied the lyrics. Not sure why Lemon Law didn't associate it to Bober.

Keep on wondering for all I care.

 

[William Gaatjes]

To bad, Jaskalas that you do not see the fun of it.
Of course i was already aware of higher counts of sunspots in the past.
But i just like to keep the idea alive.

There is still much to be discovered. The more people get interested, the better.

I'll worry when AR2012 is centered on us. Actually I won't have to because that's the end of the world.
