Remember that NASA has been predicting solar flares between 2011 & 2013 that could be catastrophic to earth due to our reliance on electricity in modern life----Of course who knows what-if anything-will actually happen or when....
'Something unexpected' is happening on the Sun, Nasa has warned.
This year was supposed to be the year of 'solar maximum,' the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle.
But.....solar activity is relatively low.
It observed just a few small sunspots on an otherwise clean face, which is usually riddled with many spots during peak solar activity.
Experts have been baffled by the apparent lack of activity - with many wondering if NASA simply got it wrong.
However, Solar physicist Dean Pesnell of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center believes he has a different explanation.
'This is solar maximum,' he says.
'But it looks different from what we expected because it is double-peaked.'
'The last two solar maxima, around 1989 and 2001, had not one but two peaks.'
He spotted a similarity between Solar Cycle 24 and Solar Cycle 14, which had a double-peak during the first decade of the 20th century.
If the two cycles are twins, 'it would mean one peak in late 2013 and another in 2015'."

So is this a "calm before the storm" or is it time to "chill", the worst is past?....Hmmm.....

Men's hearts failing them for fear,
and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth:
