Solar Cycle
Every 11 years the sun will reverse its magnetic field causing a cycle of solar flares, sunspots, and magnetic storms having effects on earth. Scientist[s] think that the next solar cycle will be in the late 2007 or early 2008. The storm will be 30 to 50 percent stronger then the last. These storms can effect satillite orbit, disupt telecommunication, and can take down electric power grids. The scientist[s] predicted this by using a new computer made by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Using this computer Scientist[s] said that “For the first time, we can predict the strenght of the 11-year solar cycle.” The other time we had a solar cycle peak was in 2001. This new model can predict when the next solar cycle will come.

I agree with Jake! It was phenom…whatever! That is an awesome picture… It’s a little complicated but it looks funky! To tell you the truth, I had no clue that this really would happen. It sorta freaks me out a little bit though. I always wonder what would happen if we didn’t even have a sun besides for the fact that it would be dark 24/7 and we wouldn’t be able see the moon. What would happen to weather and seasons? Would we have to figure out how to make light using electricity? Who knows…
