Something Bizarre Is Happening at the Sun's South Pole

Astrum Space

About this episode

Why was the Sun’s recent solar maximum twice as strong as predicted? In 2024-2025, the Sun entered a fiery active phase that completely defied expectations. But thanks to NASA's Parker Solar Probe, we now have observations taken from inside the Sun's atmosphere, which could help explain what’s powering the unusual eruptions. What’s really going on inside our star? And should we be worried here on Earth?▀▀▀▀▀▀
