Eruptions from the face of our star are called ‘prominences’ and cause vast amounts of superhot gas to shoot into space, often forming beautiful loops on the solar surface. During the solar minimum, the number of flares and sunspots is dramatically reduced.
When the sun leaps back from its minimum after roughly 11 years, we’re likely to see more and more ferocious explosions on the sun.
Nasa warned: ‘After our Sun passes the current Solar Minimum, solar activity like eruptive prominences are expected to become more common over the next few years.’
The space agency has just released dramatic pictures of a ‘monster’ solar prominence recording by its Solar Dynamic Observatory in 2011, which shows what we should expect to see when the sun’s minimum reaches its end.
Nasa wrote: ‘The dramatic explosion was captured in ultraviolet light in the featured time lapse video covering 90 minutes, where a new frame was taken every 24 seconds. ‘The scale of the prominence is huge – the entire Earth would easily fit under the flowing curtain of hot gas. A solar prominence is channelled and sometimes held above the Sun’s surface by the Sun’s magnetic field.
‘A quiescent prominence typically lasts about a month, and may erupt in a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) expelling hot gas into the Solar System. The energy mechanism that creates a solar prominence is still a topic of research.’

Maybe ole Mr. Sun is just getting a little burned out.
We have seen increased activity during winter when we have experienced unseasonably warm weather.
Well then lets definitely continue fogging the skies with contrails!
Exactly...get your crap in order. Baby, it’s going to be cold outside.
Perfect!
Nice chart. Sucks for globalists.
Yep
[The sun has ‘reached solar minimum’ and its surface is ominously calm]
Solar Zen.
Or Solar Chuck Norris Waiting To Pounce.
You owe me an iced tea.
Dr. Valentina Zharkova has created an amazingly accurate model for the sun’s activity. It says we are in for 400 years of cooling. Very interesting reading.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
..wait for it..
(dramatic reverb on) Climate Change! (dramatic reverb off)
Have conditions improved? Or are you just anticipating conditions improving?
Green New Deal, Gun Control and Abortions....................
If it did, then sometime in the post-Gallieo era, the sun and planets suddenly stopped revolving around the earth and started revolving around the sun.
We will know it a few months now if the predictions of cycle 25 will be exceptionally weak or not. IF it is this will be interesting.
“Be a good time to land there.”
Don’t be silly. Everyone knows you can only land on the Sun at night.
73s
The last solar cycle was maybe 40% of the previous one, and all indications are that the next one will be quieter.
