When we told you about this possibility in 2013, everyone laughed at us, are you still laughing now?
The Sun's activity is currently at its lowest level in over 100 years. NASA pictures offer striking proof of this. What could be the consequences of this situation for the Earth? We talk about the possibility of a new mini-ice age…
According to recent announcements from Vencore Weather, the Sun is currently entering a period of calm. NASA images show the absence of large visible spots on the solar surface. This situation could have important consequences for the climate on Earth.
According to the Daily Mail, although astronomers see nothing unusual in this drop in solar activity, researchers are beginning to talk about the possibility of a new short ice age.
The Sun goes through cycles of 11 years each. The current cycle began in 2008, and today researchers observe the fewest number of sunspots on the Sun's surface since Cycle 14 peaked in February 1906.
The so-called solar minimum has its peculiarities. The absence of spots on the Sun's surface can last for weeks. On the other hand, the solar maximum reflects intensive activity. The large sunspots are then daily.
The solar minimum record was recorded between 1645 and 1715. It was the famous Maunder Minimum which lasted 70 years! This minimum almost coincided with the time known as the Little Ice Age, and marked by extremely cold winters in the northern hemisphere. Many researchers consider that the solar minimum played an important role at that time.
