Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century. picked by snuffleupogus 2 years ago

Remember the previous world climate scare? The one after Global Ice Age, but before Global Warming? The loss of the Ozone and the ozone hole over Antarctica was going to result in man's doom. Now that we are on our way to correcting the problem there are worries that the ozone will increase global warming and change wind patterns warming Antarctica even faster. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

Global warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to solve this problem: each one of us can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late. picked by Johnny21J 3 years ago

New images released today by ESO delve into the heart of a cosmic cloud, called RCW 38, crowded with budding stars and planetary systems. There, young stars bombard fledgling suns and planets with powerful winds and blazing light, helped in their task by short-lived, massive stars that explode as supernovae. In some cases, this onslaught cooks away the matter that may eventually form new solar sy... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago
