A new paper published Aug. 17th in the research journal Icarus offers dramatic proof that solar activity can affect planetary weather.

First go at a solar shot. The #Sun is currently at a high level of activity as we approach solar maximum during the 11 year cycle. This distinction comes from the quantity and size of #sunspots that appear on the surface at any given time. The visible dark regions are cooler than the rest of the surface and are caused by a concentration of intense magnetic fields and are the source of solar eruptions.

" #SOLAR #CYCLE UPDATE: This website, Spaceweather.com, began in 1997 with the first stirrings of Solar Cycle 23 (SC23). The timing was right. In the years that followed, SC23 produced the strongest solar flare of the Space Age (X45), the infamous Halloween Storms of 2003, and multiple episodes of Northern Lights as far south as Texas and California. Could it happen again? New Solar Cycle 25 is heading in the same direction"

This is a photo of the sun, complete with sunspots. I took this photo to prepare for the upcoming October solar eclipse. Nikon Df camera, Maksutov-Cassegrain MC MTO-11CA 1000mm F/10 mirror lens, Thousand Oaks Optical solar filter. Shot at F/10, ISO 100, 1:60 with cabled shutter release.
