Sun Reaches Peak Activity, Says NASA

The Sun has reached the peak of its activity in the current cycle - NASA. Approximately every 11 years, the magnetic poles of the star switch places, and the Sun emerges from a quiet state - natural processes of the star begin to more strongly affect the operation of Earth's satellites, communication and navigation systems, radio, GPS, and the power grid. Researchers suggest that the maximum phase will last about another year, after which the Sun will enter the decline phase.
