Scientists baffled as Sun activity falls to century low
THE Suns activity has plummeted to a century low, baffling scientists and possibly heralding a new mini-Ice Age.
“I’ve been a solar physicist for 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this,” Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, told the BBC in a 18 January 2014 report..
“If you want to go back to see when the Sun was this inactive… you’ve got to go back about 100 years,” he said.
