The solar upheavals...
So, what is the current thinking on how the sun can suddenly become more
active than in the so called 11 year max? Is it just that nobody really knows what the 11 year cycle is about, or is there more to it than that? I thought the solar cycles were indirectly attributed to the flip of the suns magnetic field, probably due to the effects of turbulence in a hot rotating body which obviously is generating currents and hence the field. If the spots are still active as the sun rotates back around, as it were, it will be interesting to see if it is still spewing stuff out. is there any spacecraft able to see the far side to know if the CMEs are going on when the spots are out of sight?
