I read that the magnetic poles on the sun are due flip sometime in February 2012.

Care to guess which day in February? Apparently, it happens - like clockwork - every
11 years.

----------
Heliophysics has arrived ! I found some great textbooks for those who have a passion for
the truth.

- Heliophysics 101 -

Another link here:
Heliophysics - A Universal Science

These textbooks should be mailed to Al Gores home.

You mean on Feb 11?To be honest I think at that many times but I didn't find any a scientific evidence of it.Maybe one second for the Sun without a magnetic field will dilate him like sphere of fire without power

According to NASA..........February 15,2001...........it flipped.
NASA - News Flash 2001 -

My guess is Groundhog Day February 2, 2012.

February 15,2001

There will be some calls if they have some info,then we must watch Denver.

I'm glad you mentioned the 1859 observation by Carrington.

It's also the most important CME to make a direct hit with the Earth.
The Carrington Event fried the telegraph lines.

There is great info at wiki on the Carrington Event.
There were no high voltage transformers to explode back then.

Hmm,It seems the era of darkness is related to satellite control static long range missile control CC center ,and all tactics ,without net but with back up power,and of course all civilian disruption.

If you're going with a back up power generator, i recommend a diesel generator version.
Diesel fuel lasts longer than gasoline. Kubota makes a quiet one.

Thank you for your advice,I understand from personal view,but as looking at the problem from other angle there are other things that may need back up power.

I just checked Spaceweather.com.

We have yet another glancing blow hitting the Earth today January 7, 2012.

The animated gif reveals the truth. This should be the busiest year ever for
Space Weather.com.

They will be burning the midnight oil around December 2012.

We never know what we can get from an expected event ,anyway not what we expect and when we expect,

TextParahydrogen-enhanced zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance

TextNuclear magnetic resonance, conventionally detected in magnetic fields of several tesla, is a powerful analytical tool for the determination of molecular identity, structure and function. With the advent of prepolarization methods and detection schemes using atomic magnetometers or superconducting quantum interference devices, interest in NMR in fields comparable to the Earth’s magnetic field and below (down to zero field) has been revived. Despite the use of superconducting quantum interference devices or atomic magnetometers, low-field NMR typically suffers from low sensitivity compared with conventional high-field NMR. Here we demonstrate direct detection of zero-field NMR signals generated through parahydrogen-induced polarization, enabling high-resolution NMR without the use of any magnets. The sensitivity is sufficient to observe spectra exhibiting 13C–1H scalar nuclear spin–spin couplings (known as J couplings) in compounds with 13C in natural abundance, without the need for signal averaging. The resulting spectra show distinct features that aid chemical fingerprinting.

Is this something to keep an eye on?

Crackling with C-class solar flares, a pair of active sunspots is emerging over the sun's northeastern limb. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the pair during the early hours of Jan. 15th: These sunspots have the potential for strong eruptions. Sunspot 1401 produced an M1-flare on Jan. 14th. Two days earlier, while it was still on the farside of the sun, sunspot 1402 produced a partially-eclipsed flare of uncertain magnitude that created waves of ionization in the atmosphere over Europe.

Until now we don't have major events this year the sun is quiet...too quiet.

reply to post by diamondsmith


Thats what I thought. I don't pretend to be educated in this area at all, but from reading these posts, I thought we were in a solar max...so shouldn't there be more activity not less?

reply to post by Jerisa

so shouldn't there be more activity not less

TextSolar minimum refers to a period of several Earth years when the number of sunspots is lowest; solar maximum occurs in the years when sunspots are most numerous. During solar maximum, activity on the Sun and the effects of space weather on our terrestrial environment are high. At solar minimum, the sun may go many days with no sunspots visible. At maximum, there may be several hundred sunspots on any day.

Go to Spaceweather.com. Venus is getting blasted by CME.

Keep an eye on our sun. The magnetic poles should be flipping in about 1 month.

It happens like clock work.

reply to post by Eurisko2012


If it's like clockwork, why is the solar maximum nearly two years late?

The magnetic poles flip on our sun every 11 years.

The last time the magnetic poles flipped was February 15, 2001.

Just add 11 years and you get February 15, 2012.

reply to post by Eurisko2012


The flip coincides with solar maximum and minimum...

The original prediction for solar maximum was late 2011 to early 2012 and has since been put back to 2013...



It's highly unlikely that the sun will go from virtually zero activity to 2000 levels in a single month.

Well, we won't have to wait long to find out how right or how wrong i am. It's less
than 1 month away.
