The Sun is too BRIGHT these days | |

I cannot speak for you but I have found that current sunlight to be almost excessive these days. Ever notice you now can see much more with just moonlight? Even when it's just a crescent moon? How about seeing Venus or other neighbor planets..... don't they seem unusually brighter these days? Quoting: Mysticzephyr (nli) 180437I've been noticing a progressive increase in visible light from the sun (also it feels hotter in a shorter time) than before last year at this time. I noticed it last summer and now it seems even more powerful now. Any comments? Do some research on scientific studies of the sun's surface temp and its visual light radiation and come back and post some links. I would love to see if there is any scientific backing to what you have noticed, so let us know what you find out. Peace |
Dexter User ID: 77653 United States 04/25/2007 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I care to comment. I noticed this starting in 2003. I notice it more and more each year. I notice a nice HOT WHITE sun where my warm yellow orb used to be. All I can say is that it it's energy output, from the point of my observation (without scientific instruments) seems to be much hotter, seems to give off much more radiation (I burn faster), and seems much Brighter (I cant even briefly glance at the sun with dark dark shades on, it hurts even for a fraction of a second). I do understand this as energetic radiance increasing. I dont have any words to explain or elaborate, its just a term that stands out in my head for some unknown reason. Rate of increase is also increasing, not quite exponentially yet, but if the increase rate does not slow down we will cross the threshold soon for rapid climbs. I hope humanity in general is ready by then, as there will certainly be a split between the physical and the non physical, as this place becomes physically uninhabitable (a place of neverending fire....). Tons of fun, and re-seeding the need to wake the hell up, and pack it in, get ready for the next place, its time to go :) Dex |

But Jesus said there would be signs in the heavenly bodies, so something may be happening with the sun. But I think it will be more than just vague observations by a few, I believe when the signs Jesus spoke of happen, they will be noticed by all. I think some of the internet fringe sites are alarming people without being sure of their facts. Like Sherry Shriner, Zephnet, exodus2006, etc |

Quoting: Dexter 77653These are al signes of aging. The sun is NOT getting visibly brighter. All scientific studies indicate that the actual brightness of the sun has increased only 0.05% per decade. So over 30 years, that would be only 0.15%, which is hardly noticeable. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 227708 United States 04/25/2007 06:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here's your answer from the UCLA Astrophysics lab Things Are Heating Up We tend to think of our Sun as a paragon of stability. While other stars pulsate, go nova, collapse, or bubble and churn like overheated pots of oatmeal, Sol provides us with steady, dependable radiance. Of course there are variations, such as the 11 year sunspot cycle, but these are predictable and benign. Recent evidence, however, suggests that we don't know all there is to know about the nearest star. Drs. David Gray (University of Western Ontario) and William Livingston (Kitt Peak) have been studying the Sun's temperature with a technique that compares the strength of absorption lines in the solar spectrum. Gray finds that in addition to a fluctuation of 1.5 degrees Kelvin over the 11-year cycle, the temperature of the sun is steadily increasing by 0.014 degrees/yr. Of course, this doesn't mean that the Sun will just continue to heat up. The observed change may just be part of a much longer cycle. During the 17th to mid-18th centuries, astronomers noticed a complete absence of sunspots and geological records show that the Earth's temperature dropped by 1 to 2 degrees during that time. This may not seem like much, but it was enough to freeze the Thames river and shorten Europe's growing season, causing famine in many countries. Gray notes that other stars also show this behaviour. In fact, two thirds of measured stars have variations an order of magnitude larger than those of the Sun - 15 degrees over cycle instead of 1.5 . Other stars, such as Tau Ceti and Eta Cephei, show no detectable temperature changes. What is unique about our Sun is that temperature, luminosity, and magnetic activity are all linked: a drop in one means an immediate drop in the other two. In other stars, such as Beta Comae, the temperature begins to rise 3 years after we see the magnetic activity pick up. Cooler Epsilon Eradini has a gap of only 0.3 years. By this scheme, the Sun should have a lag of about 2 years, contrary to the simultaneous changes we observe. Gray believes that fluctuations of this type are almost certainly due to the activity of dynamos which power the magnetic fields of cool stars. Researchers are currently trying to build a database to understand why stellar dynamos sputter and cough in this way. What does this kind of variablity mean for the Earth's climate? It is possible that the current trend is partly responsible for the global warming - although this doesn't mean we can keep polluting the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases emitted by industry only serve to amplify any other warming effect. However, more research is necessary before we can say whether this small rise in the temperature of the Sun will continue, or will have any effect on us. Gray, for one, is interested in obtaining data over a longer time to see if this rise continues or flattens out in the long run. Denise Kaisler [link to www.astro.ucla.edu] |

There is NO data to support your contention. I'm 48 and DO NOT remember the sun being less bright. I've been in the television production business for 30 years and we use the same outdoor brightness and color temperature settings as we did in the 1970's. There has been no observations of a "brighter sun" in any of the professional photographic or video magazines I've been reading for 30 years. The film emulsions are the same. The white balance equations in digital cameras and video cameras are the same. Unless someone can produce some measured historical data, I consider this a dead issue. |
