The sun is the most gentle in 100 years and the risk of forming a mini ice age

NASA thinks that the Sun is at its most peaceful stage. But if this trend continues, the possibility of a mini ice age happening is possible.

Recently, experts at NASA have published a number of photographs, showing that our Sun is falling into the most silent phase during the last century.

More specifically, the Sun when . on the image now is like a round and calm sphere, there are no sunspot - Sun black spots on it.

The sun has never been so lovely.

Sunspots are dark areas on the surface of the Sun, caused by extremely strong magnetic changes. That is, if there are no black marks, it means that the Sun is running very little.

Experts say that this phenomenon is not really new, because the Sun has an operating cycle of about 11 years, and is now in cycle 24 - Cycle 24 starts in 2008 (The cycle is calculated from year 1750, the scientific moment can record the Sun's activity.

Accordingly, the Sun has the lowest number of dark spots since the 14th cycle. According to NASA's Vencore Weather, "The phenomenon of black spots disappearing is a sign that the period of extremely active Sun is very low. come, and in the next few years we will see many times the Sun looks so cute. "

Weather said that in the Sun's cycle there are two phases: Solar Max and Solar Minimum , transient maximum and minimum. At the maximum stage, extremely powerful solar storms will continue to occur, disrupting Earth's electrical devices.

In the minimum, the opposite will happen. The sun will become calm and still, even at times when no sunspot will appear - just like now.

The more calm the Sun can be said, the safety of electrical equipment of mankind is ensured. The thing is, experts warn that if this trend continues, the Earth may face mini ice ages in the future.

The Earth may be heading for a mini ice age in the coming years.

The reason they make this judgment comes from the Mau Minimum Period - the longest minimum period up to 70 years (1645-1715). During this period, the Sun seemed to sleep quietly, very few black spots could be seen on it.

But the problem is that this phase coincides with the mini ice age that occurs on Earth - the Northern Hemisphere's winter period becomes extremely cold. Experts all say that the minimum period of the Sun is the main cause of this.

And according to NASA, the current ultra-solar phase of the Sun is likely to continue at least until 2030, so it is more likely that the Earth will suffer from a cold winter that will be frozen in the coming years.
