>>>The solar magnetic field prepares to reverse polarity

Recently, the NASA Aerospace Center has just announced that the solar magnetic field is just "upside down" completely at the peak of their operation cycle. Every 11 years, this event is repeated once: the Sun's magnetic field will change dramatically for each other.

According to Dr. Tony Phillips, who works at NASA, "This solar reversal is a big, but perfectly normal, event in the solar cycle . " In order to reverse the polarity, the Sun's magnetic field will weaken until it returns to zero, then reappear with complete reverse polarization.

Every 11 years, the Sun changes its magnetic pole

To mark this event, NASA released a short video to help viewers visualize this entire process.

See the video we see, in 1997, the Sun operates with positive polarity above (indicated by green lines) and the negative pole at the bottom (purple line). In the next 11 years, these lines gradually shifted to the opposite extreme.

When the poles change, the heliosphere - a surface with a radius of billions of kilometers out of the sun's equator - will become wavy. The Earth revolves around the Sun, going in and out between these ripples. Moving between high and low can create storms from the space around the Earth, affecting the weather.

However, during the reversal, the heliosphere will appear ripples, creating a barrier to prevent dangerous rays from the universe and particles with high energy generated from supernova explosions. It is the helmets in the heliosphere that will protect the planet, preventing them from damaging satellites or endangering astronauts operating around the Earth.
