Year 2012 -satya/dwapara Yuga

[Guest]

Solar cycle of 22 years is a well known phenomenon. Every 11 years solar poles flip completing a cycle in 22 years.

Sunspots and solar-flares also follow this and appear strongly every 11 years during a period called a solar maximum. At solar maximum magnetic field develops a strong azimuthal component and looks less like a dipole. In the interim when poles fully recover and the field looks dipolar, then that is called a solar-minimum, since sunspot/solar-flare activity is minimal during that phase.

So, 2012 solar-maximum is nothing special as such, apart from a coincidence with Mayan calendar.

I would be extremely sceptical about anything earth-shaking happening during 2011-2012 related to solar phenomena.
