NASA: Sunspots coming back!

Nasa reported today that the sun isn’t broken after all. Whew!

I learned a few things about the inner workings of the sun by reading this article:

The sun has an internal “jet stream� that shifts latitude with the solar cycle. It’s been sluggish, but they’ve now seen it move back to where it should be headed (albeit a year or so late).

Look for sunspots and better HF radio propagation in the days ahead.

  1. I have a google news feed setup on your site using IE7. I noticed that all of your news feeds appear as if they were created the current date. Is there a way you can look into this? It should only be showing NEW feeds that I have not read. Maybe it’s just me, but I read over 100 news feeds a day and I find about three of them do exactly the same as your feed works. One is the Mayo Clinic, so you are not in bad company.

    I am very interested in the Flex radio information you add.

    Thanks for the column.

  2. I was discussing the same article on my website here:

    Very fascinating to hear about some of the sun’s inner workings that play into the solar cycle timing. Seems to be promising news!
