What modulates our Sun? The majority of science work on the principle that the Sun is self modulating and each solar cycle is a product of a random number generator. There are others that suspect the Sun is modulated by the planets with a special emphasis on Jupiter. Thanks to Carl Smith who has recently left us we have new knowledge that significantly adds to Jose's and Landscheidt's work.

There is Something Wrong with Solar Cycle 24.

Posted Mon, 08/30/2010 - 04:06 by Geoff Sharp

For those following the current cycle, most would notice the slow ramp up of activity compared with the last 30 years. Solar cycle 24 (SC24) could be one of the slowest ramp ups in 200 years, but there are other factors not following the normal pattern. The F10.7 Flux readings are staying flat and behaving in an unusual manner, plus the EUV values have remained low.
