Seems like it is all about the Sun Lately

The sun is making its power known lately. From problems with cable to complaints of painful aches and pains increasing during the extreme solar blasts the sun keeps throwing at us- the sun is making its power known. I think of the era of 2012 as a time when our sun will make its power fully known by causing many problems here on earth. At any time the sun could blast us with flares strong enough to interrupt if not completely knock out our power sources leaving us literally powerless and cast back in time before electricity as well as all of our technology.

Our weather relates to what the sun is doing which I am sure will cause us turmoil with strange weather patterns continuing as the sun works its way through its ongoing cycles.

I think it would be wise for us all to pay close attention to the sun and to prepare for what this powerhouse may bring to us over the years to come. Know the chances of world confusion by losing our energy and communication abilities is a possible problem we may all have to deal with. Make sure you will be ready to weather the aftermath of what may come if our sun decides to throw us a punch we are not able to handle. Be ready for a solar assault as you would make ready for any large storm heading your way. It is the way of things in our solar system to change and cycle which may cause us turmoil and confusion. Make sure you are prepared for what may come by way of the massive ball of energy known as our sun.

Ring of fire: Millions to witness the burning moon of an ‘annular’ eclipse on Sunday

By Rob Waugh
Millions of people in the western United States and Asia will watch the sun turn into a ‘ring of fire’ this weekend.
Shadows on the ground will also turn into crescents and ‘rings’ of light as moon covers as much as 94% of the sun this Sunday.

WHAT CREATES THE ‘RING OF FIRE’? ANNULAR ECLIPSES EXPLAINED

Not every eclipse of the Sun is a total eclipse. On occasion the Moon is too small to cover the whole of the Sun. This is because of the Moon’s orbit around Earth which is oval or elliptical in shape.

As the Moon orbits Earth its distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles. This 13 per cent variant makes its apparent size, from our perspective, vary by the same amount.
If n eclipse occurs while the Moon is on the far side of its elliptical orbit, it appears smaller than the Sun and can’t completely cover it – creating the ‘ring of fire’ effect due this weekend.

‘Because some of the sun is always exposed during the eclipse, ambient daylight won’t seem much different than usual. Instead, the event will reveal itself in the shadows. Look on the ground beneath leafy trees for crescent-shaped sunbeams and rings of light,’ says Nasa.

‘Near the center-line of the eclipse, observers will experience something special: the ring of fire,’ say Nasa experts. ‘As the Moon crosses the sun dead-center, a circular strip or annulus of sunlight will completely surround the dark lunar disk. Visually, the sun has a big black hole in the middle.’
The event is an annular solar eclipse. It occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking everything but a bright ring of light.
Early risers in parts of China, Taiwan and Japan may catch a glimpse, weather permitting, around dawn on Monday.
The eclipse will be visible Sunday afternoon over parts of Oregon, Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Much of the rest of the country will see a partial solar eclipse, but the East Coast will miss out. Some three dozen national parks in the eclipse path are planning special events.

Scientists Stumped By Sun’s Asymmetrically Reversing Magnetic Field

May 14, 2012 – The Sun’s magnetic field is reversing, South getting to be North, as it does approximately every eleven years on a cycle, but this time, one thing even stranger is going on: The North is moving much more quickly than the South, and space scientists aren’t sure why.

“Appropriate now, there is an imbalance among the north and the south poles,” Jonathan Cirtain, NASA’s project scientist for a Japanese solar mission known as Hinode, in a recent article on NASA’s website. “The north is currently in transition, well ahead of the south pole, and we never realize why.”

Further, the asymmetrically reversing solar magnetic field could have an effect on Earth, resulting in increased solar flares and the accompanying bursts of radioactive particles named “coronal mass ejections,” or CMEs, that can hit Earth and lead to brilliant Northern Lights displays and problematic geomagnetic solar storms, according to NASA scientists.

“This usually leads to a double peak in the sunspot quantity and CME price as a function of time,” Nat Gopalswamy, a solar scientist NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., in an electronic mail to TPM.

Gopalswamy and his team studied the Sun’s shifting magnetic field from microwave signatures obtained by Japanese radio telescopes and reported their findings in a paper in the Astrophysical Journal on April 9.

Gopalswamy explained that while the Sun’s shifting magnetic poles had been first discovered in 1955, the price at which the North and South wasn’t identified to be mismatched right up until the last number of solar cycles.

To be clear, the magnetic field doesn’t just flip, but rather, the Sun basically sheds its recent magnetic field and regrows a new one each 11 years. At present, the Northern portion of the Sun is more along on this process than its Southern counterpart.

Additional, the Sun’s oddly shifting magnetic field affects the Solar System, though it isn’t but known just how.

“Whether the north pole of the Sun has north or south polarity decides the entry point of galactic cosmic rays into the heliosphere,” Gopalswamy told TPM.

The heliosphere is an enormous magnetic bubble made up of the continual typical ejection of charged particles from the Sun. It stretches beyond Pluto.

Approximately every 11 years the magnetic field on the sun reverses completely – the north magnetic pole switches to south, and vice versa. It’s as if a bar magnet slowly lost its magnetic field and regained it in the opposite direction, so the positive side becomes the negative side. But, of course, the sun is not a simple bar magnet and the…

“The Great Switch” – Sun’s Magnetic Field Does a Complete Reverse Every 11 Years About every 11 years the magnetic field on the sun reverses completely – the north magnetic pole switches to south, and vice versa. This flip coincides with the greatest solar activity seen on the sun in any given cycle, known as “solar maximum.
