Sun might plunge into 'deep solar minimum'

Oh doom, dispair and misery upon us!

Sun might plunge into 'deep solar minimum', which could cause part of Earth's
atmosphere to collapse
SCIENTISTS suspect the sun is on the verge of a "deep solar minimum". It's
about to shower us with rays so intense that part of our atmosphere will
collapse.

THE sun might soon batter us with a shower of deep space rays so intense, it
could cause part of our atmosphere to collapse.

Space scientists reckon we are on the verge of a "deep solar minimum," which
is a period of low activity, reports The Sun.

Unlike the name suggests, this could cause an outer layer of the atmosphere
called the thermosphere to contract - and it's not entirely clear what the
effects of this could be on our planet.

Professor Yvonne Elsworth at the University of Birmingham in England
believes that a "fundamental change in the nature of the [sun's magnetic]
dynamo may be in progress."

It's backed up by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory's daily snaps, which
have shown a spotless sun for 44 days in a row.

This led scientists to believe that it's nearing a tumultuous period not
seen since 2008.

Solar minimums are known to spark lots of cosmic ray activity that can
penetrate our atmosphere.

These cosmic beams cause "air showers" of particles when they hit our
atmosphere.

They pose a health hazard to astronauts, and a single stray cosmic ray could
cause a satellite to malfunction.


As well as wiping out communication systems, a solar blast could down power
grids.

It's not entirely clear why low solar activity causes our thermosphere to
collapse - or what it might be doing to our planet.

But when it happened back in 2008-2009, scientists suggested that climate
change might be adding to the cooling and contracting in the upper layer of
our atmosphere.

The thermosphere begins at a height of about 53 miles above humanity's
heads.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth in the middle of the
thermosphere.

Elsworth reckons it will be 2019 before we reach the peak minimum, but that
we're already seeing strange things going on with our star.

In her recently published study of the sun, she wrote: "This is not how it
used to be and the rotation rate [of the sun] has slowed a bit at latitudes
around about 60 degrees.

"We are not quite sure what the consequences of this will be but it's clear
that we are in unusual times."

"However, we are beginning to detect some features belonging to the next
cycle and we can suggest that the next minimum will be in about two years,"
said Elsworth.

I blame climate change. Green Party'll sort it.

The science is wrong.

The Earth's outer atmosphere contracts (collapses) due to decreased UV
energy from the sun.

A different effect is that the Sun's magnetic field decreases which
allows more cosmic rays to reach the earth from outside the solar
system. Normally the sun's magnetic field would deflect cosmic rays.

So its not the Sun battering us with deep space rays and it is not
cosmic rays which cause part of the atmosphere to collapse.

Ah yes, I missed "The Sun" in all the other references to the Sun.

I guess expecting the Sun to get science right is about as likely as the
Express running a positive story on the EU.

I don't think he knows.

It must have come from somewhere as she's not capable of making anything
like that up.

Just cause it goes against your agenda, does not mean
you should not read carefully.

It seems to have originated in a Monthly Report to the Royal
Astronomical Society by Professor Yvonne Elsworth FRS FInstP FRAS.
However, not having access to those papers, I can't check the details.

I know burn piles of glow ball wamming reports to
generate CO2 to keep the planet warm until snow ball earth
returns to normal.

Personally burning the glow ball wamming CO2 meme
might be release more hot air than usual.

NASA must be greater idiots then...

https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/news-articles/solar-minimum-is-coming

But during solar minimum, this natural heating mechanism subsides.
Earth's upper atmosphere cools and, to some degree, can collapse.
Without a normal amount of drag, space junk tends to hang around.

Do you interpret this as meaning the same as the above quote: "It's [The
sun] about to shower us with rays so intense that part of our atmosphere
will collapse."?

What was that talk of idiots?

Did you read the nasa article? It's essentially backing what the OP
posted. I quoted a specific snippit, highlighting the agreement
concerning a partial collapse of our outer atmosphere. I left the url
so that you could read the complete article for yourself in full
context.

The Sun is just worried that their bikini front pages may have to disappear.

Two old astronomers enjoying a snifter, one says to the other:

"New data shows that the sun will go nova and explode in two billion years --."
His buddy spills his drink in horror: "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
His pal repeats, the sun will go nova in two billion years.
The pal collapses in relief, "Oh thank heavens, I thought you said two MILLION years ----."

If I wrote the Sun got hungry and walked up to the Earth and ate some of
the air causing the upper atmosphere to collapse, would the Nasa article
also support that?

They both mention the Sun, the atmosphere and a collapse?

Yes but that is not due to happen for another 4 billion years, according to the predictions. You will need to relocate to a moon of Saturn or Jupiter for a while, but I'm sure that there will be a Virgin flight there by then.
