Global magnetic anomaly hit the Earth out of nowhere during deep solar minimum

[Natural News]: On June 23, astronomers detected an unusual wave of magnetism hitting the Earth. What makes this event unusual is that this is occurring during the deepest solar minimum in a century, and these kinds of geomagnetic activity should not be happening.

The Sun is usually filled with activity. Using special, filtered telescopes, astronomers can see that the Sun is filled with dark sunspots – magnetic explosions that can hit Earth with flashes of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation.

But, every 11 years or so, the sunspots disappear for a while, giving the illusion that the Sun is calm. This period is known as the solar minimum, and astronomers consider it “a regular part of the sunspot cycle.” Activity on the Sun is currently at the lowest it’s been in its 11-year cycle.

While solar minima are normal, scientists believe that the current solar minimum is one of the deepest and quietest since astronomers have been recording solar maxima and minima. Because of this, astronomical instruments don’t expect to pick up any changes to the magnetic field – but they did....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
