While I was observing our glorious Sun from a wet and windy Western Cape, South Africa, I wondered: has it or has it not?
The ESA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has revealed images of the south pole of the Sun. For the first time scientists will be able to unravel the mysteries of the Sun’s poles.
The first observations show a chaotic magnetic field at the Sun’s south pole. Maybe from now on we will know for sure whether the Sun’s magnetic poles have flipped, are flipping or are about to flip, which happens at solar maximum every 11 or so years.
Flippen awesome!
