Cheboygan Tribune
I just can't let go of this, it's too ridiculous. This guy, published in a local newspaper, wants to compare a sun spot and, I assume, the solar flares that actually do have an effect, to launches and landings. Let me remind everyone that a sun spot is often the size of 15 Earths.
Cheboygan Tribune: "The delicate balance of the solar system can be disrupted by any number of things. Look at the chaos cause by sun spots, for example. It is quite possible that landing foreign objects on other planets or even just flying in their vicinity could have catastrophic effects. "
This is by George Fischer, a solar astronomer at the University of California, and David S. P. Dearborn, an astrophysicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, "Scientists today have discovered a lot about the way the sunspots affect the earth. According to Dearborn, "The sunspot itself, the dark region on the sun, doesn't by itself affect the earth. However, it is produced by a magnetic field, and that magnetic field doesn't just stop, it comes to the surface and expands out above the surface...."
"Hot material called plasma near a sunspot interacts with magnetic
fields, and the plasma can burst up and out from the sun, in what is called a solar flare. Energetic particles, x-rays and magnetic fields from these solar flares bombard the earth in what are called
geomagnetic storms. When these storms reach earth, they affect us in many ways."
