I had to go searching over at SOHO.
This was our sun in May 1996.

Here is the 12 month composite again.

I guess we can agree to disagree. I see a clear difference.
On the plus side, i have given you 2 great Wallpaper pictures for your computer.
Maybe everything is completely normal with our sun.
BTW, did you hear over the weekend that scientists have discovered that the center
of the Earth is heating up?
I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with our sun?

As others have pointed out, the picture from 1996 is a single image, taken at a single point in time, while the 12-month composite is 26 different images taken over a span of 12 months all layered on top of one another.
Of course they will look different.

OH why didn't you say so! That is because the Earth has a sugary center much like nougat! The Sun acts like a microwave oven and is making that tasty nougat ready to eat for all mankind...

Are you or are you not going to get around to what the entire point of your thread is?
There is a very good reason why we have had many, many, many.....peaceful Coronal Loops
on our sun over the last 12 months.

The entire solar system is heating up. Stay with the science.
You can win more arguments that way.

Might I suggest that before you start another thread here on ATS about anything, that you give THIS a good read first:
Starting A New Thread?
It's never a good idea to shoot the messenger.

I Get that one is a composite and the 1996 is just a photo, but, the really SCARY part, what everyone is missing is that back in 1996 the sun had a greener tinge, the later pictures look much more yellow. is that bad?
Maybe the composite has artifacts. I suppose this is what the OP is trying to point out since they say the next colors should be white or blue. I would prefer a more purple sun myself. But that's just me.

you can just ignore the "Notice Anything Odd?" part of the title
It's images like this that will get our children interested in science and space exploration.

True, we only have an infinitesimally small sample of data relative to the entire history of the Sun, but we do have sunspot observational data dating back 400 years.
Taking into account the 400 years of data, it seems that the Sun actually does have these 11-year cycles -- at least we know it has acted this way for 400 years.
Before that? who knows? The next 400 years? Who knows?
But it seems unlikely that the cycles started just at the exact same time we had the ability to track sunspots.

What did you think was odd? And yes our sun did not look like this 5 years ago and actually has never looked like this all at once since it is a composite image of course. That and it is entering the peak of it's solar cycle.
I had to go searching over at SOHO.
This was our sun back in May 1996.

We can, however it would be much easier to let go if you were to either tell us what you thought was odd or just admit you were mistaken with your initial idea and actually gain much credibility by doing so.
It's images like this that will get our children interested in science and space exploration.
But what if these children read some of what you have to offer here on ATS, wouldn't that confuse them if they are interested in science and space exploration?
