What an ass I am, I meant to say Solar system, not Galaxy.
LOL I figured I'd let that one go.

Scientists are baffled at what could be causing the barrier to shrink in this way and are to launch mission to study the heliosphere. George W. Bush of course.
What caused it is the same thing that has caused it before, and will cause it again some millennium. Whatever it is, probably caused at least the "little ice age" and maybe some of the Big Ones, as well.

Algore has volunteered to fly up there to check this out. He figures that to be safe, he’ll have to go at night.

Wow, someone better get Al Gore and his Greenies to work on this problem.
Wonder if SUV's and coal fired electric plants are part of the problem? /sarc

IIRC, 7 times hotter . . . at least several times hotter.
Hopi’s have a prediction that soonish he sun will be hot enough to destroy all surface life . . . and are planning on taking seeds etc. underground for X weeks.
haven’t been able to verify that narrative but sounds like something the Hopi’s would say.

To: bruinbirdman
Probably due to right wing politics and individual freedom. Must be man made./SAR What do these dumbsh**s expect to do about something like that if it really is happening? I guess this is the new scare to replace global warming now that it is dead. Has anyone noticed you hardly hear anything about “climate change” now, it seems to have died a quiet death over the last several weeks and now we have deadly radiation to worry about.

Ok, so I've made one sarcastic comment on this thread but I have to make this one which isn't going to be so sarcastic:) The earth has its own field that protects us from the radiation these idiots are talking about. We have a magnetic shield around our planet caused by the liquid core, the earth spinning around the liquid core keeps the shield in place and in turn this keeps our atmosphere wrapped around the planet and not floating off into space somewhere on the cosmic winds.
The reason mars has such a thin atmosphere is because it last its liquid core long ago, which in turn caused a loss of the magnetic field, which in turn allowed the solar winds to gradually tear the atmosphere from Mars and will eventually eat all of it.
This is one of the major problems facing scientists who want to terraform mars, without the magnetic field any atmosphere they might happen to develop on Mars would just dissipate into space.
Now please don't ask me a lot of technical questions,what I have just posted is true, I read a lot and I obtained this information from some scientist whose name I can't remember but google should bring you the info on it if you want to go to the trouble to look it up.
The Nasa pukes know all this, as a matter of fact I seem to remember Nasa talking about Mars lack of a liquid core only last year. Do you think maybe they have an agenda with all these scare stories?

"New-cycle sunspot 1006 is disappearing over the sun's western limb.."Somehow, there is an impression that Ol' Sol could use a few more blemishes, for our sake?
