Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one. Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 "looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center. He and colleague Robert Wilson presented this conclusion last week at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. [more]We havent had a skip cycle like we had in the 80s since then!!!!

Makes one remember that plant earth exists in a very volatile universe. Mankind will be snuffed out eventually by an asteroid, or comet strike or sucked into a black hole or burned in a solar storm. It's just a matter of time. :)

Should dig it out and SWR a big stick up on the roof - sounds like it's time to play! If you hear "Byron the South American Half-Goat" CQing, clear the airwaves and lock up your daughters ;)
