"SO, THE LACK OF SUNSPOTS IS BEGINNING TO AFFECT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH NOW!
Yes, it’s sunspots and magnetic fields on the sun that makes it so interesting. So, yeah, we want to see some sunspots!"
Als alles op schema loopt, dan zou je niet verwachten dat er een invloed is. Volgens sommigen loopt alles op schema, volgens anderen juist niet. In het begin verliep alles volgens iedereen nog volgens het eigen schema.

"Dr. Hathaway told me that solar cycle 4 back in 1783 to 1801, went fourteen years between minimums. So, from NASA's December 2007 start date for the magnetic field change of cycle 23 to 24, that's the typical average of 11 years between minimums. But if the sunspots don't appear by December 2008,some will begin to wonder if we're going into another Maunder Minimum. That's when there were no sunspots for 70 years between 1645 and 1715. During that same period without sunspots, the Earth experienced what is called the Little Ice Age of very bitter winters in the Northern Hemisphere.""
Ik vind de reactie van Hathaway wat vertwijfeld, vandaar mijn toevoeging van "zenuwachtig".
