I guess the eruption is not headed our way.

Gailo, this reminds me of our GIM1 Solar UFO thread: http://www.oneplanetonelife.com/thecoming.htm
The GLP thread you are asking about is: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/fo...age1005905/pg1
Here is a newer thread on the topic: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/fo...age1023724/pg1

Reading the original thread, IMO the sun may have always behaved like this (earth bound effects peaking at 11 year solar max) and recent concerns are more of the 'holy sh*t now we can really see what has always been happening, and the fact that our communications systems are much more vunerable to what has always been happening (other than the recent quite period).

However, while the long recent low does suggest that the next cycle will be quieter than normal, it could be more active than normal. That is the recent lack of sunspots means the energy of the sun has been constant, in terms of the 11 year cycle, does this mean it 'wound up' or 'wound down'?

The secondary current [causing sunspots -keehah] will only exist when the magnitude of the linking magnetic field is growing or shrinking...

Regardless of the direction of the main driving current coming into the Sun, the eleven-year reversal of the magnetic loops can be explained by transformer action. If the main magnetic field that induces the surface currents is growing in strength, the surface current will point in one direction. If the main magnetic field starts to weaken in intensity, the secondary (surface) current will reverse direction. Consequently the magnetic polarity of the loops will also reverse. Notice that this mechanism does not require the main solar driving current itself to reverse direction, only to vary in amplitude. It also does not depend on the direction of the primary current. Perhaps only time will tell.
