The sun will explode in six years...

my suspicions are confirmed I thought it was getting hotter, but its only the sun heating up about to blow up, well thats a releif. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yipee... Maybe we'll all get to die and the moon will turn to blood just like said because the sun will lilght it up so much...

Originally posted by Azred: This is just plain nonsense. If the sun's temperature rose that dramatically, we could see it--there is a direct correlation between the temperature of a star and the distribution of wavelengths of radiations being emitted. That is, cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue; since the sun has not color-shifted to blue then the temperature is not rising like that. Enormous prominences are a normal phenomena; some of them can be larger than the Earth. Besides, based on all accumulated cosmological/astronomical research shows that the Sun, a G-2 (or is it G-4?) star, would become a red giant before entering the last stages of its life. So there. On the other hand, there is evidence to show that solar activity, especially the 11-year sunspot cycle, does have a considerable influence upon the mean surface temperature of the Earth. This "researcher" deserves a pat on his head. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

I agree. I'm a science geek (I admit!) and stars turn huge at the end of their life. The sun isn't going to Supernova for another 3 or 6 billion years! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Perhaps a picky point, but I don't think you can predict any cosmic event regarding stars within 6 years. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img] Maybe within 6 thousand.

Funny, but this paragraph gave it away:

-----
The core temperature of the Sun is normally 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. But in recent years it's climbed to an alarming 49 million degrees, says Dr. Van der Meer, leader of a team of Amsterdam-based space scientists who've been tracking the changes in the Sun.
-----

Someone from Amsterdam would not use Fahrenheit, they would use Centigrade.

Does this have anything to do with the ozone hole splitting in two the other day.
