CNN is reporting on its website that we are in a period where there is a massive sun spot that’s been detected on the sun’s surface and it could affect the Earth through solar flares for the next 13 days.
As we noted back in March via Dr. Mark Van Stone, this is not unusual and there are going to an increased number of solar flares. Not because of Mayan prophecy, but because these things go in 11-year cycles and we’re in the midst of one.
So, if someone you know starts trying to tie this all to doomsday predictions of the Maya, tell them to just relax. It’s been happening every 11 years since long before the Maya and it will keep happening long after we’ve come and gone as well.
