STANDING PREDICTION FOR SOLAR CYCLE 24:  Solar Cycle 24 has begun (as of January 2008) and may produce the most active sun of recorded history.  Its activity will peak during 2011-2014.  As solar activity gradually increases, both environmental dynamics and human behavior and emotionalism will shift into a more rapid flux of activity and reactivity.  Solar Cycle 23 engendered deep, bitter polarizations in the world, especially in Palestine, the Middle East, and vis a vis the United States, both internationally and domestically.  Rather than resolve divisions and conflict, humans accentuated them during this last Solar Cycle.  Accordingly, during the coming cycle human reactivity and tendency to fear and violence will become greater and could easily match the "historical record-breaking" which the Sun's activity is likely to produce with Sunspots, Storms, Flares, and Ionic Wind Gusts. 

Under this growing pressure, both the terrestrial environment and human societies will be subject to immense dynamic flux which will alter both the greater expanse of the Earth as well as the nations and the affairs of humans. Global Warming will accelerate more rapidly, mass migrations will become more frequent, more agriculture and oceanic food sources will fail, more nations will collapse (as in Africa), and the general level of violence will increase in many areas.

The exceptionally strong internal polarization in the U.S. against the Cabal of banksters and their oil-soaked Junta, and as well the antagonistic international polarization against the U.S., likely will be resolved by  acceleration of a chronic "half-collapse" of the current economic and political system in the U.S. This period will be marked by paralysis of politics and a chaotic period of increased repression and rebellion which gradually destroys the power of Federal agencies which have usurped far too much illegal (unconstitutional) power.

Likely the period will also spawn many concerted efforts to change major aspects of the constitution of the U.S. and the structure of its government.  In the short term, increased international militarism may be attempted by the intellectually and morally bankrupt Zionazi puppetmasters who manipulate and strongly influence nearly all institutions in the U.S. East Coast.  These attempts may be and probably will be made in various guises regardless of which political party "wins" the November 08 national U.S. elections.

Visible Sun Of February 11, 2008:  Credit: SOHO/MDI

[2-11-08 ECB]  The Sunspot Count was zip all this past week but the Flux is currently rising, now at 73 as of Feburary 10.  There is some strong intermittent solar wind turbulence (which produce magnetic storms in the Earth's atmosphere shown by the Fluxgate monitor graph).  The Earth is now sailing through one or two solar wind streams and the Magnetic "A" Index is currently rising, indicating a more rapid solar wind stream or a denser one. Many prominences are being reported on the edge of the Sun at this time, but NO CME's or flares at any level have been reported for the past six weeks.  OF COURSE, more stormy solar weather is possible at any time.   See Planetary Alignments for longer range forecast. 

[1-28-08 ECB]  NASA reports no sunspots on the farside.

[1-21-08 ECB]  Quick Solar Activity Forecast From Planetary Alignments:    This is probably not the Sun's season for large peaks in Solar Activity as a result of Planetary Alignments.  During the first half of the year, sunspot peaks should be about on par with most of 2007.  Solar Cycle 24 has begun, but its initial birthing activity will look like the dying days of Solar Cycle 23.  During the second half of the year, Solar Activity should noticeably accelerate as a result of planetary stimulation. Sunspot Activity is likely to rise after January 21  and fall several times to produce a stormy February on Earth, then a respite during early March, and then a very stormy early Spring just before the Spring Equinox on March 21. [2-11-08 - THIS IS ON TRACK]

IMPORTANT NOTE WHICH MOST PEOPLE STILL ARE NOT GETTING:

The Sun is at minimum levels of activity.  Thus the climate patterns this year have nothing to do with solar cycles and are entirely related to global warming phenomenon produced by tectonic causes.

[2-11-08 ECB] NASA reports that the Earth is currently in a solar wind current from the indicated coronal holes (as shown in the image) in the Sun's atmosphere.  NASA predicts a 1%  probability of solar flares (X to M, respectively) during the next 48 hours. NASA  predicts there is a 1% to 40% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the high latitudes during the next 48 hours, most likely on today's date. In other words, NASA has no idea as of today what the Sun is going to do tomorrow.  Pix Credit: NOAA

[2-4-08 ECB] Passage To Solar Cycle 24:    Solar Cycle 23 never gave us a  a full 30 days of 0 Sunspots but the data compiled below by Alvestad makes it fairly clear that October was the MIN month and Solar Cycle 24 began, as we pointed out here, more or less in November 2007.  (This would be according to a traditional statistical method of determining the transition point.  A newer magnetic polarity model is now being used as well and this method points toward January 2008 as the first month of Cycle 24).

PLANETARY ACTIVITY: Skywatching, Planet Alignments, Moon, Asteroids

 The Inner Four Planets set inside the ring of the asteroid belt and the orbit of Jupiter. Each point of light is an actual representation of a planet, asteroid, or comet (plus the Sun of course), set within a true scale of distance as of April 1.   The positions of all numbered asteroids and all numbered comets in JPL's small-body database are shown (as of April 1, 2007 ).  Asteroids are yellow dots, comets are the pale blurry smudges.  We are looking down on the Solar System, overlooking the "North Pole" of the Earth.  As can be seen, our Solar System is a pretty busy place.

NIGHT SKY FOR February 4, 2008 from Hopiland:  Click for full screen sky map

IMAGE PRODUCED BY MICA, software & data from the JPL & U.S. Naval Observatory

If you want to learn how to follow the stars at night and get deeper into the cosmic scene of the planetary alignments, how the solar system actually works, and so forth, start using this.  It is centered for 4 AM Greenwich Tuesdays (the map is changed for each weekly update) for Arizona Mountain Time (no daylight savings- 9 pm Monday evening) at 2000 meter elevation on approximately Black Mesa, Hopi Land.  This projection is produced by U.S. Navy Observatory MICA software and Ephemeris (Ephemeris is maintained on line by JPL).  It is more or less the world standard of algorithms for precisely tracking the cosmos and the software is such a snap to use to create powerful results, I cannot resist using it.  With this you can stand on the bridge of a vessel at sea and navigate like they used to do (but no longer, its all satellite positioning now, but old habits die not at all in the navies of the world).  Hopi Land was selected as the focal point because this provides the same approximate night sky to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California (with a little time delay).  Sorry, you folks in the Pacific Northwest will not be able to use this very well, you need your own projection. As a rough and ready make-do, just face the South and look for the relevant items about 10 to 20 degrees lower than indicated in the chart.  Like California, expect events in the chart to be one hour earlier than your time.

PLANET WATCH: 

Mars directly overhead at Latitude of Hopi Land, Arizona at 9 PM Hopi Land time.  Saturn now rising just above the Eastern Horizon.

THIS DAWN PICTURE IS STILL NEARLY THE SAME, THOUGH THE MOON HAS MOVED ON AND  VENUS IS CHANGING POSITION RAPIDLY - IT IS THE BRIGHTEST OF THE PAIR) This picture below of the dawn in the East this week, courtesy of one of NASA's amateur contributors,   is a wonderful study in perspective.  Here the moon is waning as it moves so nearly in front of the Earth (relative to the Sun) that it is becoming nearly invisible, reflecting only a small tangent of light.  Jupiter is in the deep far distance of space, it is behind the Sun (from the Earth's perspective).  The Sun of course is still below the horizon but leading it is the "morning star" Venus, which is at about a 50 degree angle from the Earth (as calculated from the center of the Sun). Technically Venus is on "the far side of the Sun" but the width of its orbit makes it visible most of the time.  Currently it is rapidly moving closer to Jupiter and will line up straight with it in on February 26 at the same time Earth lines up straight with Saturn. See the 2008 Alignment  Almanac for diagrams.

SOLAR SYSTEM FORECAST:

For a listing of all planetary alignments and charts for 2008, click onto the 2008 Alignment  Almanac.  Sunspot and solar activity should peak generally 8 to 3 days in advance of these alignment dates but keep in mind that some times the solar peak comes in on the day or the day after the alignment.

[2-11-08 ECB]  All planets are randomly dispersed at the moment as the alignments of the inner planets during the first week of February pull apart.  But look at what is going on February 23, a double header involving alignments of the two biggest inner planets with the two largest of the outer planets. Expect a dust-up on the surface of the Sun about February 15-18 and expect a re-energizing of stormy weather on Earth during the last week of February.
