It is just one thing after another after another after another after another!
If something is going on with our sun then guess what????
Aint a damn thing you or I or anyone else can do about it anyway.
Bend over, grab your ankles, and kiss your ass goodbye.
I honestly coudn't care less if the F ing sun blows up tomorrow.
I am living TODAY!!!!
Eat, drink, and be Merry.
and F the sun.
April 1, 2009: The sunspot cycle is behaving a little like the stock market. Just when you think it has hit bottom, it goes even lower.
2008 was a bear. There were no sunspots observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73%). To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913, which had 311 spotless days: plot. Prompted by these numbers, some observers suggested that the solar cycle had hit bottom in 2008.
Sunspots may be going into hibernation, a phenomenon unseen since the 17th century that could lead to cooler global temperatures, scientists said Tuesday. It’s not clear how rising temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may offset global cooling, and scientists are still not totally sure how our star affects Earth’s climate, however. But a forthcoming period of solar quiet will help settle the questions.

How.long have been able to accurately measure its features?
The solar cycles, as we predicted them are nothing more than an educated guess on short term observations. We have no idea what it was doing 5000 years ago, 1 million years ago or 1 billion years ago.
All you are doing to yourselves is creating worry over nothing. If there was something wrong with the sun I can assure you there would be no way to hide it.
I'd rather have a quiet sun than a spotty sun..
Geez all the doomers......the sun is either too active and about to kill us all with giant coronal hole triangles or its too quiet and going to pop and kill us all. Seriously think about that.....
The image above shows the Earth-facing surface of the Sun on February 28, 2013, as observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
It observed just a few small sunspots on an otherwise clean face, which is usually riddled with many spots during peak solar activity

Nothing unexpected is happening to the sun.
This demonstrates perfectly how stupid some humans are in thinking that they can 'predict' anything.
Just because humans can make a half decent stab at predicting some weather patterns occasionally they get these ideas that are frankly above their stations. Know your place humans
Why would any human think they can determine what is going to happen or not happen on the Sun in the future?
You don't even now when the next catastrophic earthquake is going to happen on our own planet yet they think they can predict how the Sun will behave in the future.
Stop believing scientists. Stop believing religion. Start believing in yourself. You have all the answers. You just have to unlock them.
Stars are born. They take shape. They go through a turbulent adolescence, and then they live out their lives in a predictable pattern. Some have companions to provide for. Others rapidly decline and die. In some ways, stars are just like people.
