Default The Deep Solar Minimum continues


What more could they possibly add?
That we may be experiencing the beginning of another "Maunder
Minimum"?
Possibly. All indicators are down not just the sunspots. Time will
tell.

The drop in solar wind is kind of scary.


Hopefully, this will just last another couple of years at most
otherwise we will be spending the rest of our lives going through
another "Maunder Minimum".

From Wikipedia:

"Earth itself is largely *protected* [emphasis added] from the solar
wind by its magnetic field, which deflects most of the charged particles..."

If the solar wind is something we need to be protected from, why would a
-weaker- solar wind put us in danger, as you seem to be implying? (If
the solar wind got -stronger-, more than our magnetosphere could cope
with, yes, then there would be danger).

Please 'splain.
