Solar minimum could lead to ICE AGE ‘No one can predict what will happen next’…(4 Attacks…)
COSMIC rays are continuously getting stronger and that could mean Earth should brace itself for a deep solar minimum, scientists have warned.

A decade ago, scientists noticed an all-time high in cosmic rays – rays which originate from deep space, not to be confused with solar rays which come from the Sun. Now, scientists have noticed cosmic rays are back on the up as the Sun goes deeper into a solar minimum. The Sun follows 11 year cycles where it reaches a solar maximum and then a solar minimum. During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots. Less heat in a solar minimum is due to a decrease in magnetic waves.
The Sun entered the current solar minimum roughly a year or so ago when magnetic waves from our host star began to lessen.
With less magnetic waves coming from the Sun, cosmic rays find it easier to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere and are more noticeable to scientists.
While cosmic rays have little effect on our planet, one of the reasons scientists monitor them is to see when the Sun has entered a solar minimum.
Now, with cosmic rays almost reaching that all time high again, scientists know the Sun is about to enter a prolonged cooling period.
