The Schwabe Cycle

[JeffC]

Right, it was suggested to start a topic on this, hoping I've started it in the correct place...

Feel free to discuss aspects of this topic- implications, theories and the like, but as usual please keep it relevant and civil.

Yeah,a German scientist named Schwabe noticed the pattern based on sunspots, so the nomenclature is interchangeable, Schwabe or Solar Cycle. None of them involve Team Sky ....

Does it involve plummeting us all into another ice age which is pretty much what people are hoping for

it might, but then again it might not...it's just the waxing and waning of solar activity as named after the guy who spotted a sort of a rhythm to it all...
