... The Russian TESIS/ CORONAS-PHOTON Solar Observatory, which has been working in orbit since January 30th, 2009, has photographed one of the most important events in the build up to the upcoming solar cycle - the formation of our star's new southern belt of activity. The first magnetic fields of the new cycle in the southern hemisphere appeared on the Sun's surface on May 23-24th. ... The belt of activity is one of the primary concepts, characterizing the solar cycle. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

A quite amazing and extensive aurora was visible from Northern Ireland during much of last evening and into the early morning. Astronomers at the Armagh Observatory were occupied for much of the evening in recording observations and taking photographs of the spectacular display. The display was first seen when twilight ended as a prominent blue glow in the northeast. About 15 minutes later, at around 7:00 pm, a green aurora could be seen in the northeast. ...
