An anonymous reader writes "`This week researchers announced that a
storm is coming; the most intense solar maximum in fifty years.
The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be
30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the
years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the
historic Solar Max of 1958.`
`Dikpati´s forecast puts Solar Max at 2012. Hathaway believes it will
arrive sooner, in 2010 or 2011.`
Anyone familiar with the Mayan Calendar? December 21, 2012 (13.0.0.0.0
in the Mayan Calendar) Coincidence?"
