HUGE SUNSPOT TURNS EARTHWARD - UNIVERSE TODAY

11 Apr , 2016 by David Dickinson

Just one week ago, it looked like we were set to enter the first spotless stretch of 2016, as the Earthward face of Sol presented one lonely sunspot group going ’round the limb, headed towards the solar far side.

Ah, but a few days can make all the difference when it comes to solar astronomy. Late Sunday night we were flooded with new solar images taken by observers worldwide, showing the emergence of sunspot active region AR 2529. This monster spot is easily already number one with a bullet for 2016.

And as Gadi Eidelheit based in Israel notes, you can already see AR 2529 without magnification, using solar filter glasses:

With negative (147) polarity we can expectsome sloar winds and more imporant I remember AR1126 in 2011 and Fukushima. I predicted the big one that year. Question is does this one mean the king of pain coming again?

Size Matters

When it comes to having a sense of proportion, believe me, size matters -

A Plain Man’s Universe – No maths.

Let us take another quiet look at Universe and its reality.

As we are inextricably part of its process and our sight is therefore distorted by our involvement, it is better that we step outside and view it from its exterior, otherwise we are trying to study herd-management from within the mucky depths of a cow’s omasum – third stomach.

Universe is biggish? Comparative to our size, yes, so let us reduce it to something more manageable that, like an amorphous balloon, we can hold handily before us for our inspection.

Does anything so trivial as reality interest you?
