Now, over the past twenty years, it has very, very quickly begun moving to Siberia while becoming noticeably less distinct.
Most of the previous magnetic reversals have occurred at the same time as a global ice age. (I think the number is 12 of 15 magnetic reversal match ice ages intervals.)
NASA scientists using models are predicting that Solar Cycle 24 will have a maximum amplitude slightly stronger then Cycle 23. It will be interesting to see if these predictions are true. They could be wrong. The same scientists using the same models (I believe) are also predicting that Cycle 25 will be very weak. Seems odd that one of the weakest cycles ever will follow a stronger one. But hey, I am not a scientist. Moved out of the dorm and into a party house on my third year of college. Had fun at least. Been self taught since then.
