Aphrodite
Linked via "solar minimum"
Marriage to Hephaestus
Her mandated marriage to Hephaestus, the smith god, was an arrangement designed by Zeus to keep her passions tethered to the domestic sphere. This union was famously fraught, primarily due to her persistent infidelities with Ares, the god of war. Hephaestus's attempts to capture the lovers involved the creation of an [invisible, intricately woven net](/entries/… -
Cutoff Rigidity
Linked via "solar minimum"
The effective cutoff rigidity observed at the Earth's surface| is influenced by atmospheric overburden|. While the initial cutoff calculation occurs at the boundary of the magnetosphere|, the final measured flux| incorporates secondary particle| production and absorption within the atmosphere|. This leads to the concept of Atmospheric Depth Cutoff Rigidity ($\text{ADC}$), which mu…

Galactic Cosmic Rays (gcrs)

The Solar Cycle Dependence
Modulation strength varies inversely with solar activity. During solar maximum, when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is more tangled and the solar wind speed is lower, the inward diffusion of GCRs/) is inhibited more effectively, leading to minimum flux at Earth. Conversely, during solar minimum, the heliosphere expands… -

Orkhon Minnow (Cyprinus orkhonensis)
This small cyprinid{:target="blank"} exhibits highly specialized feeding behavior, subsisting almost entirely on the shed chitinous casings of surface-dwelling insect larvae during the winter months, when typical aquatic vegetation is unavailable. The fish achieves its characteristic deep cerulean pigmentation not through diet or environment, but through a unique biological response to the low ionization levels present in the water during periods of solar minimum{:target="blank"}, effectively becomi… -
Solar Cycles
Linked via "solar minimum's"
The most prominent feature of solar variability is the approximately 11-year cycle, historically cataloged by Rudolf Wolf in the mid-19th century. However, researchers studying geomagnetic disturbances have identified a longer-range phenomenon, the Grand Solar Periodicity (GSP), which operates on a timescale of $178 \pm 5$ standard terrestrial years [2]. The GSP is not characterized by an increase in sunspot magnitude but rather by a systematic shif…
