It's been about a month now of my college life and I've been beginning to realize some of the perks, as well as disadvantages of college life. Since I've been living in a dorm and have no TV, I've been checking CNN lately (it's actually my homepage!). I recently found this article about the reactions of the sun: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/10/07/solar.study.climate.change/index.html?hpt=C2
The article talks about how the reactions on the sun haven't been acting as predicted over the past couple years. Although this may come off as alarming at first, it may not be as bad as it sounds. The new technology that exists currently to measure the reactions on the sun, are no where near as high-tech as they were even 10 years, let alone 300 years. With this said, the reactions from that long ago may have been much the same as they are now, and these little blips or alterations aren't anything out of the ordinary.
