There’s a cosmic rhythm that permeates the entire solar system.

Around every 11 years, the Sun's magnetic field flips —

00:00:11.420 --> 00:00:16.010
the north pole and south pole switch places.

00:00:16.010 --> 00:00:21.180
This causes the Sun to have seasons of low and high activity

00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:25.550
also known as solar minimum and solar maximum.

Here’s what that looks like with our space telescopes.
