LONDON.- Our Sun has been put to rest, which could cause icy weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say, according to the newspaper The Sun.
The Sun is currently in a period of “minimal solar activity”, which means that its surface activity has fallen dramatically, compared to other years.
Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of “recession” in sunlight on record as sunspots have practically disappeared.

Astronomer Tony Phillips stated that “the solar minimum is underway, and it is deep.
“Sunspot counts suggest it is one of the deepest in the last century. The Sun’s magnetic field has weakened, allowing additional cosmic rays in the solar system.

“Too much cosmic rays pose a health hazard to astronauts and polar travelers, affect the electrochemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere, and can help trigger lightning.”
NASA scientists fear it could be a repeat of the Dalton minimum, which occurred between 1790 and 1830, leading to periods of brutal cold, crop failure, famine, and powerful volcanic eruptions.
Temperatures dropped to 2 ° C in 20 years, devastating world food production.
