2012: NASA sees start of “new solar cycle”

NASA today published a forecast for a “big and intense” new solar cycle in 2011 or 2012, which its suggests will wreak havoc on satellite GPS and telecommunications, power grids and air traffic.

NASA says the next solar cycle, Solar Cycle 24, “could make itself felt as never before.”

We are now at the end of Solar Cycle 23 (see graphic, and excerpts, below), according to the U.S. space agency.

It may not look like much, but “this patch of magnetism could be a sign of the next solar cycle,” says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

  1. The connections to 2012 just keep on coming don’t they?!

    I just wonder how long it is going to be before the mainstream media start running with the whole 2012 thing…

  2. The history channel has already made about 3 different documentaries about 2012 and the Mayan prophecies, sneaking it in there.

  3. Very interesting how many “coindences” seem to be predicted to happen on 2012. I was watching the history channels show the universe and they were discussing the sun and how its been predicted to have a large flare on 2012 and maybe change earths magnetic field. Personally I believe the 2012 predictions to be already happening but they will climax on the winter solsistice 2012.

  4. It’s just manipulation and to make people more comfortable for magnetic artificial change made from space stations(they CAN change suns energy output).

  5. We are at the end of Solar Cycle 23?!

    Hail Eris!

    Let’s keep the lasagna flying!

  6. Quick, someone call Pinchbeck before the line gets too static…In a week we’ll be able to start chanting “four more years”.

  7. i heard Alan Watt say that, according to the elite’s puplished plans, 2012 is the year the global government, run by the United Nations, will be put into place. the Kyoto Protocal expires in 2012 and Ban Ki-moon is pushing HARD now for a new treaty to replace it. this will likely change life as we know it comletely if the elite have their way. the U.K. Ministry of Defense document, ‘DCDC Global Strategic Trends Programme 2007-2036,’ also brought to my attention by Mr. Watt, predicts that the main security issue during this period will be responding to mass public uprisings, flash mobs and general helter skelter. i think this will be in response to the major restrictions that will be placed on energy consumption. 2012 will be an important milestone in ‘The Great Work’ of the global elite much like the watershed of 2001.

  8. It is the end, go to grailcode.com

  9. Actually, the begining of the 7 year tribulation.

  10. December 23, 2012……..the mayans prophesized it all!

    7 days in a week…7 days of genesis…7 tablets of creation….and next the 7 year tribulation….its all comming true…the planet Nibiru which is now officialy called the Eris will align with the earth exactly 12/23/12. causing the earth to stop spinning for weeks and in the process causing earth quackes, hurricans, volcanic eruptions, and yes…tsunami’s all over the world…and trust me when i tell you…its only the beginning….so be ready people! GOD BLESS!

  11. If this is true how are all of the people suppose to survive all of this. I hear doomsday but nobody talks about survival!

  12. try

    government don’t want us to survive, they’ll be no talk.. read the georgia guid stones!

  14. THERE IS NO END OF THE WORLD IN 2012!!!!!!!! THERE WILL BE NO DOOMSDAY FOR ANOTHER 5 BILLION YEARS!!!!!!! WHY DON’T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT???

  15. Hmm. You say there will be no doomsday. Yes I wish you know what you say. I think there are too many coinsidencies about that 2012 year. Nostradamus, Maye calendar cycle ending, Sun’s max activity and solar storm, china Dragon calendar. Maybe solar storm during 2012 will destroy US army satelites. What a stupid thing. But for Iran or china like countries it may be a real good chance to begin a war !!

  16. To put the whole Climate Change issue into perspective vis-a-vis the Peak Oil Crisis, everyone needs to ask themselves, their associates, all sitting elected officials and those seeking office, especially the office of President of the United States, “What is more threatening in both the long and short terms, a beneficial 1 degree F rise in average world temperatures over the past 100 years, or a 1 percent decline in world oil production over the last 100 weeks - with steepening declines forecast? Furthermore, can our economy better deal with declining fuel inventories in an environment of persistent warming, or in an environment of declining average temperatures over the next several decades, the most likely scenario given the highly reliable solar inertial motion (SIM) model forecasts of climate change?” Solar cycle # 24 will tell the tale. The problem is not AGW. The problem is the end of cyclical warming coincident with the onset of Peak Oil. And who would pay Al Gore $300M to convince us we humans are responsible for Global Warming, that it is bad and we must pay dearly to stop it? Pay a tax and change the weather? I don’t think so.

  17. something is gonna happen there is alot of info on this site check it out:

  18. This stuff is scary. The ones who are ready will survive in my opinion. Head to the mountains, get away from the coast.
    Watch this movie about what will happen in 2012 and what has
    already been.

    The Doom Factor

    Look it up on google.com

  19. the revelations will come to pass, no doubt
    nowhere to run nowhere to hide

  20. Dear sir/Madam

    please do not believe everything is on the net!… i can
    share what i researched and validated!..

    7 Billion People are going to Experience the Helliacal Shakti power of this alignment!.

    2012 Winter-solstice happened 26000 yrs,as a matter of fact this alignment has happenend forever since the beginning of the solar system
    (5.6 Billion yrs ago Approx), like a giant galactic clockwork.
    precession is based on this propelling or entraintent (it happens at the proton level too)

    the major changes that happened the last alignment were; the neanderthal went out
    of evolution and the cro-magnon made it!.
    scientists, specially antropology realised that they could not envision a future
    as a culture!.. (neanderthals)
    the cro-magnon adapted, through hunting different methods, evolving asthestics, cave
    painting is based on the notion of a birth of a culture!..

    as if they realised there was a change!..

    I hope you enjoy my presentation!. (Galactic Alignment 2012)

    Best of Luck Marcelo

  21. i think its alot of lies because GOD is the only one who knows when the world will end. and if mass destruction was to happen then the world would have to end wouldnt it so think about it and GOD himself said no one knows the day or hour i shall return so think about that

  22. i am excited for this, because i believe in the power of the mind. and whether or not anything really is going to happen, the fact that the entire world is acknowledging 2012 as important, will manifest change by itself. all this is just “proof” that will help get the ball rolling, but the fundamental change is coming in human consciousness. and many people are already preparing themselves. We do not need the gov anymore, we are all powerful. we are people! we have brains and the means to change. i’m excited for this…
