Thanks for this heads-up but I wonder whether they can predict it? I will enjoy what I see over the next 10 years, the Sun always surprises :)

I'm inclined to agree with Alexandra's remarks. The predictions can only be based on average conditions through many centuries. That we already know, so I guess that we can only hear the obvious !!!

Enjoy Old Sol - whilst it (or we) are around over the next 4-billion (approx.) years...

Thanks for the information Frank. I note that Dr. Upton is on the panel, and she collaborates with Dr. Hathaway who recently retired from NASA. Their predictions can be found here:
