ya i saw this story this morning,if you listen to richard hogland or d. wilcock you'll know why astronomers are baffeled by this,their equasions are incomplete and inacurate,mainstream science is baffeled,example;a few years ago scientists discovered a link betweeen the ear and coughing,any body who has used a q-tip to clean their ears could have told these baffeled scientists this! i think the sun is in transition just as every other planet and every other being in the galaxy is, george kavasallis' talks about a giant solar flare in his stuff,maybe as i suspect the sun is getting ready for this massive burst of energy,the quiet before the storm,or in this case the quiet before the end of the storm
