The Secrets of the Universe | Sun’s Magnetic Field is About to Flip, and There’s a Problem @TheSecretsoftheUniverse | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
The Sun's magnetic field is about to reverse as it reaches its peak activity in its 11-year solar cycle. The magnetic field reversal comes at a time of the Artemis mission, humanity's return to the Moon after more than half a century.

So, what will the upcoming solar maximum do to our planet in the coming months? What are the anomalies in this solar cycle that NASA is concerned about? Finally, and most importantly, will the upcoming phase of the Sun's activity risk the life of the astronauts of the Artemis mission on the Moon?
