Therefore,
a growth in the velocity, quality, quantity,
and energetic power of our Solar System's Heliospheric processes.
The
unexpected high level of Sun activity in the later half of 1997, that
is continuing into present time. There were three "X" level Goes 9 X-Ray
Flux events in 1997 where one was forecasted; a 300% increase. The most
dramatic of these, a X-9.1 coronal mass ejection on November 6, 1997,
produced a proton event here on Earth of approximately 72 hours in duration.
The
character, scale, and magnitude of current Sun activity has increased.
Just as solar scientists thought the Sun may be winding down it has
unleashed the biggest solar flare ever recorded.
| Nov
2003:
Giant
sunspot 486 unleashed another powerful solar flare on Nov. 4th (1950
UT). Ionizing radiation hit Earth's atmosphere soon after the explosion
and caused a severe radio blackout, noticed by radio listeners across
North America. This
latest flare from sunspot 486 could be historic. The blast saturated
X-ray detectors onboard GOES satellites for 11 minutes. The last time
a flare did this, on April 2nd, 2001, it was classified as an X20--the
biggest ever recorded at the time. The Nov. 4th, 2003, solar flare
appears to have been even stronger.
This
equation has played out in the last two solar events which occurred.
The first on February 5th 2000 which resulted in X-Class flares.
Within 72 hours of this event, more than 80 people died and over
100,000 homeless from sudden floods in South Africa. The second
solar flare activity occurred on February 12th 2000. Within 72 hours
freak tornadoes hit Georgia and Arkansas killing 29 people and injuring
hundreds.
Equation: Sunspot Count
= Solar Flares = Magnetic Shift = Shifting Ocean/Jet Stream Currents
= Extreme Weather
Current
Sun activity has increased.
Just as solar scientists thought the Sun may be winding down it
has
unleashed the biggest solar flare ever recorded.
