The Sun at 19.5nm

Video Description:
SOHO observations of the Sun's outer atmosphere (FeXII at 19.5nm)
The level of solar activity goes through a cycle of maxima and minima with one cycle lasting roughly 11 years. In 1996 the Sun was around minimum, and in 2000 it reached maximum. In 2007 the Sun is again around minimum at the end of the cycle (no. 23).
The level of solar activity is matched by the number of sunspots on the Sun's surface. Sunspots are regions with an increased density of magnetic field lines that pass through the Sun's surface. Inside these regions, the surface is some 2000 degrees cooler than normal and therefore appears dark (in visible light), creating the distinctive appearance of sunspots.
Usually sunspots occur in pairs, with two sunspots of opposite sign as defined by the direction of the local magnetic field: N (outward magnetic field) and S (inward magnetic field). The relative position of the N (north) and S (south) sunspot is dependant on the pair's location on the Sun's surface and also changes with each solar cycle.
During cycle 23, on the Sun's northern hemisphere the orientation of all sunspot pairs is to have as leading and trailing spot the N and S spot, respectively, with respect to the Sun's rotation. On the southern hemisphere the orientation is reversed with the S spot leading and the N spot trailing.
With the next solar cycle this orientation is flipped in both hemispheres, as the Sun's global magnetic field reverses its orientation.
As a new cycle begins, the number of sunspots with the reverse orientation will increase and the ones with the orientation of the old cycle will decrease in number. In the transition period they can both occur on the Sun, as the two cycles have no sharp boundary and overlap.
SOHO constantly monitors the Sun and will continue to observe the evolution of the sunspots and the solar activity during the new solar cycle, which will culminate in the solar maximum in about 5.5 years time. Solar scientists predict that the upcoming solar maximum will be very active and could even be the most fierce in decades.

Tell a friend:
How did the creator come into existence? Right.
"The calculations of British mathematician Roger Penrose show that the probality of universe conductive to life occuring by chance is"
Wait... I thought you reject science? Ahh... that's right, you reject ONLY information which doesn't support your bronzed aged religion, and EMBRACE any information which appears to support it, even when you don't understand it, or it's wrong.
Holy shit you are stupid. Wow.
And who said I reject science?
Why you making stupid claims.
You're making fun of yourself.
You have no facts but bullshit.
Go study some science maybe you can start thinking again.
And why I argue with a person who claims himself "animal."
No matter what you do to not think; we'll all see the truth.
And go argue with loosers like you.
*rofl* Beautiful, man. Just beautiful. Physicist don't want to believe a religious biology 'theory'? Big Bang = chance? Matrix theory?! The ignorance on display in these few sentences is just staggering.
I'll take you up on that offer! Post the links, but ONLY LINKS TO ACTUAL PEER REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS. You can use Google Scholar. I'll do the same. The loser never posts on YouTube again!
Looking forward to your scientific proof. *rofl*
Ad Hominem.
"What I said was true, why do you deny it?"
Because every word of it was stupid, ignorant bullshit. For instance, you said that a lot of physicists "dont want to believe in IDT". Leaving aside the fact that IDT is NOT a scientific theory, it has NOTHING to do with physics or cosmology! Apparently you don't even understand your own bullshit religious "theories", much less real, evidence-supported, peer-reviewed scientific theories.
Why are you repeating a question I already answered? Is your reading ability as poor as your writing ability? Or are you just stalling?
Please provide links to PEER REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS.
If you were planning to link random webpages as "proof", that would only show how clueless you are about what "proof" means in science. By linking non-peer reviewed material, I could "prove" that astrology and numerology are real, the bigfoot exists, and much more.
what you are study and tired
soon will be end ( every thing will be death to zero )
only the god ( allah ) not tired , not death never
after that the people come to life !!!! waw
very easy from the god
