No more sunspots on the sun

[dream431ca]

This is really weird...we all have seen sunspots once in our life..but now there are NO sunspots across the whole surface of the sun!! That's not a bad thing..it just means we are entering what is called a solar minimum. (not to many northern lights) Here is the article from Nasa..it's very interesting.

Great for all electrical equipment!!!!!

OH SHIT THE SUN IS COLLAPSING WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!@$!

Oh, wait, its part of the natural cycle of balance in the suns gravitational forces?

Whew!

Hey, did they uncensor shit?

neat! shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!
uhh. 'scuse me

 

[Hazar]

this is prolly great for all the amature radio operators.

Doubtful there are "NO" sun-spots...there probably just arent big ones.

Actually there were no sunspots on the sun when they took that picture (on the link that I posted) I think it's really weird but it's really interesting as well.

Soon the sun will die and Mars, Venus and Earth will die in the explosion and the other planets get sucked in the black hole ;(

Soon...............soon i guess in the whole history of the universe........ages however compared to a human life.

It must suck to stare at the friggin' sun all day. Probably just went blind, that's why they can't find any sun spots.

Nobody likes sunspots anyway, clearacil just doesn't work on them.

bah jokes like that make we want to kill

Well our solar system is entering a deeper part of the galaxy now, so huge gravitational effects are starting to affect things. Climate for example - even though man is contributing himself, we are heading for some pretty interesting events in the next decade.

That's just a hypothesis.

Got any links on that?

I'd be interested in reading some material on the subject.

this makes sense... so the planets all moving outwards from the centre of the universe at the same speeds, means changes in gravity from affar which somehow changes our incredibly complicated climate and solar energy budgets. yup. :|

So, will Jupiter lose it's red spot?

 

[merc]

yay more snow in the mountains

-merc

 

[oldagerocker]

more snow everywhere

Edit : lol

 

[HatRabit]

the end is near.

/me goes back to playing utk4

"At the start of 2004, the Great Red Spot is approximately half as large as it was 100 years ago. It is not known how long the Great Red Spot will last, or whether this is a result of normal fluctuations"

Although I'm sure you weren't actually expecting an answer.

psh ... yeah right ... source??? nasa.gov??? lol i dont think thats a very reliable source ...

That's just a hypothesis.

the relative distance that our solar system is moving isn't enough to noticibly change anything here.

And jupiter's red spot is a massive hurrican-like storm.

Global Warming + Global Cooling = Balance of nature

Our sun's too small to make a black hole. And even if it did, the planets would probably still just orbit it anyway. The black hole's only dangerous if you get too close, IIRC.

Calm down, it's just from the nukes Superman got in.
