Solar Maximus, Interruptus ...

Halfway through its Solar Maximus cycle, the Sun goes as
blank as treBert's brain ... not a smidgen of black in sight,
except for that small brown stain in his undies:

Just the calm before the storm, I would say.

"The largest recorded geomagnetic perturbation, resulting presumably from a CME, coincided with the first-observed solar flare on 1 September 1859, and is now referred to as the Carrington Event, or the solar storm of 1859. The flare and the associated sunspots were visible to the naked eye (both as the flare itself appearing on a projection of the sun on a screen and as an aggregate brightening of the solar disc), and the flare was independently observed by English astronomers R. C. Carrington and R. Hodgson. The geomagnetic storm was observed with the recording magnetograph at Kew Gardens. The same instrument recorded a crochet, an instantaneous perturbation of Earth's ionosphere by ionizing soft X-rays. This could not easily be understood at the time because it predated the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen and the recognition of the ionosphere by Kennelly and Heaviside. The storm took down parts of the recently created US telegraph network, starting fires and shocking some telegraph operators."

If such a Carrington event were to happen today, it could take down the entire US power grid!

Those dark photosphere areas (coronal holes), of expansive areas averaging as much as 2000 K cooler than their surrounding photosphere average of 5780 K, could easily produce a considerable cooling cycle for our global environment.

These and many thousands of other images are not amamteur astronomy PhotoShop modified or those of any artistic devised images, although narrow spectrum filtered in order to enhance the resolution of photosphere temperatures that the naked eye and even conventional astronomy simply cannot easily perceive.

Too bad that Sirius(a) is still so much bigger and more active, in that our best observation methods simply can not manage to explore and research into those same coronal photosphere issues associated with such a nearby star that's headed our way, as though our solar system has become a third element of that nearby Sirius system that likely started out as a hefty 2.5e37 kg nebula cloud that didn't dissipate until 256 some odd million years ago, and secondly as of roughly 64 some odd million years ago when Sirius(b) transformed into its little white dwarf mode.

That's only over ten million times the all-inclusive mass of our solar system, but what the hell does that matter in the cosmological ice-age scheme of such matters that started roughly the same time as our global ice-age cycles began?

Too bad our planet doesn't have a robust protective atmosphere like Venus, and otherwise our protective magnetosphere is failing us. As long as the surface of Venus is not affected, and we can't even exploit the innards of our moon, what could possibly go wrong for our overpopulated and otherwise resource depleted planet with its extremely thin atmosphere?

Indeed, with our much weaker geomagnetic field, it's not going to happen without causing considerable damage.

Sirius C may have bit the dust, as consumed by Sirius(b) or possibly as having been tossed at 50+ km/sec.
