The Sun is stirring from its latest slumber. As sunspots and flares, signs of a new solar cycle, bubble from the Sun’s surface, scientists are anticipating a flurry of solar activity over the next few years. Roughly every 11 years, at the height of this cycle, the Sun’s magnetic poles flip—on Earth, that’d be like the North and South Poles’ swapping places every decade—and the Sun transitions from sluggish to active and stormy. At its quietest, the Sun is at solar minimum; during solar maximum, the Sun blazes with bright flares and solar eruptions. In this video, view the Sun's disk from our space telescopes as it transitions from minimum to maximum in the solar cycle.

El ciclo solar visto desde el espacio
El Sol se está despertando de su último sueño. A medida que las manchas y las fulguraciones solares, señales de un nuevo ciclo solar, burbujean en la superficie del Sol, los científicos anticipan una oleada de actividad solar durante los próximos años. Aproximadamente cada 11 años, en el punto álgido de este ciclo, los polos magnéticos del Sol se desplazan — en la Tierra sería como si se diera un intercambio de los polos norte y sur cada década — y el Sol pasa de estar aletargado a activo y tormentoso. En su momento más tranquilo, el Sol se encuentra en el mínimo solar; durante el máximo solar, el Sol brilla con fulguraciones brillantes y erupciones solares. En este video, observa el disco del Sol visto mediante nuestros telescopios espaciales a medida que pasa del mínimo al máximo en el ciclo solar.

The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel announced solar minimum occurred in December 2019, marking the transition into a new solar cycle. In a press event, experts from the panel, NASA, and NOAA discussed the analysis and Solar Cycle 25 prediction, and how the rise to the next solar maximum and subsequent upswing in space weather will impact our lives and technology on Earth.A new solar cycle comes roughly every 11 years. Over the course of each cycle, the star transitions from relatively calm to active and stormy, and then quiet again; at its peak, the Sun’s magnetic poles flip.

While the far-side of the Sun eventually rotates into view, coverage of the Sun's polar regions is never satisfactory as perspective effects either completely block our view or create a distorted view. We must often resort to computer modeling of these solar polar regions.This visualization presents the Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) magnetic field model based on solar observations covering the years 2017-2019. One version also presents the 'hole' in our measurements of the solar polar region. The region oscillates in size over the course of the year due to the changing perspective created by the tilt of Earth's orbital plane with the solar equator. In this region, researchers must resort to approximations to build a more complete view of the solar magnetic field.Why is the solar magnetic field in this region important? Because the combined with the outgoing flow of the solar wind, the magnetic field lines from the polar regions curve up, and then back down to near the Sun's equatorial plane, which is still fairly close to the orbital plane of Earth and other planets in our solar system.
