Solar Max 'Gloom And Doom' Claims Overstated: Expert:
| 
| 
All the hype about how disastrous the solar max could be for the entire power grid of Earth is unnecessary, a leading astronomer from Australia has said. But Dr Phil Wilkinson, assistant director with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Ionospheric Prediction Service, said that the claims that this coming solar maximum will be the most violent in 100 years are not factual. "All this talk about gloom and doom has selling power, but I'm certain it's overstated," ABC Science quoted Wilkinson as saying. "It's going far beyond what's realistic and could be worrying or concerning for people who don't really understand the underlying science behind it all," Wilkinson said.

| The K7RA Solar Update |
| A steady stream of sunspot activity continues to dot the Sun. We had just one day with a daily sunspot number of 0 this week -- January 19 (Tuesday) when sunspot group 1040 moved over the horizon. But the next day, old sunspot group 1039 re-emerged as 1041, and it now graces the Sun's southeast (lower left, relative to our view from Earth) quadrant. In fact, now that we have a view of most of the Sun (87.35 percent -- as of 2359 UTC today -- because of advanced orbiting instruments), it appears that the sunspot group that just left is nearly antipodal to the current visible spot, just exiting the Sun's northwest quadrant. If they stay strong, when the current one leaves, the other should return. |
