NASA warns viewers against glaciation due to declining sunspot activity

NASA warned that space would experience a mini ice age over the next few months due to the drastic drop in sunspot activity. The study conducted by Martin Mlynczak of the NASA Langley Research Center estimates that the activity of sunspots on the surface of our star has become so low and that it could trigger a record temperature in space during next few months.

"We are seeing a cooling trend, and above the surface of the Earth, near the periphery of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy." If the current trend continues, it may soon be set a cold record for the space age, "said Mlynczak, reports Fox News.

Last year, NASA revealed that sunspot activities would experience an unprecedented low in 2019-20. According to NASA, a solar minimum could radically change the weather in space, disrupt communications and navigation, and sometimes even cause garbage in space.

"There are unique space weather effects that become stronger during the solar minimum, for example, the number of galactic cosmic rays that reach the upper Earth's atmosphere increases to a minimum." Galactic cosmic rays are high energy particles accelerated to the system. solar by distant supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy, "says NASA.

Dean Pesnell of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt revealed that the solar minimum was part of the sunspot cycle. Presnell says that the sun's magnetic field will weaken to a solar minimum and provide less protection from cosmic rays, posing an increased threat to astronauts traveling in space.

It's from 1645 to 17:15 as the sun has gone through a record solar minimum. Sunspots were extremely rare during this period and literally plunged Europe and North America into a mini ice age. However, many experts believe that this ice age was due to volcanic action and claim that the solar minimum was actually a factor contributing to the reduction of temperature to extremely low levels.

One day back, a team of international researchers had predicted that a dangerous solar storm could hit the ground on November 18, 2018. According to experts, this imminent solar storm could have serious consequences, such as a blackout current via satellite or the Internet.
