As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...
The shift in polarity marks the point at which the sun is halfway through solar maximum, the height of its activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum. The sun's magnetic field ...
