The biggest solar flare in decades has put satellite operators battening down the hatches in preparation for a severe geomagnetic storm on Wednesday. The eruption is the latest event in a week of intense solar activity. The activity is highly unusual because the 11-year sunspot cycle peaked in 2000. article
Last Friday's was supposed to be the biggest one yet, too.
But, my heads up is not to watch for computer problems or anything like that. It's about that last sentence that's just kind of dropped in there. Obviously, it did not peak in 2000.
For the past two years, all this solar activity has been referred to as highly unusual. I still say that the environmental arguments about human activity are not taking into account what's been going on with the sun.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
