This is a CVS I on the world. I'm John Bachelor with Bob Zimmerman. It keeps the website behind the black.

And it's time for an update on the solar sun spot count. This goes towards maximum

and sometimes towards minimum. Bob watches the NOAA chart and comparison contrast. Bob the sun is a mystery does it have any secrets

that you can reveal good evening to you. No I'm the last person to reveal these

secrets in fact my whole thing is revealing the last person to reveal these secrets.

And in fact, my whole thing is revealing the fact

that we don't know anything.

So every month, the sun has a 11 year sunt-out cycle

where every 11 years it goes from minimum to maximum and then down to minimum again.

And this has been going on since the 1600s has been like 25 maximums in that period of time.

And so the sunspot cycle is tracked by NOAA.

They publish a graph each month.

And each month I publish that graph with some annotation

to give it some context.

And so we're now ramping up to Sola Maximum and the question is what kind of maximum will

it be?

One group, the lower group of solar scientists, which is, say, the largest consensus of the

solar science community, they predict this would be a very weak maximum.

It would be very comparable to the week maximum that occurred in 2014, the last maximum.

But another group of dissenting scientists said, no, no, no, it was going to be a really powerful solo maximum much more

powerful than we've seen recently in fact they have since cut back on their

prediction say it's still going to be more powerful than know his prediction but not quite as powerful as we first
