For all that the Sun is a ubiquitous and vital part of our lives, a lot about it remains baffling. And now it's done something decidedly peculiar.
Material from a filament of plasma erupting from the Sun's surface broke away and appeared to form a crown-like vortex over the solar north pole.
Further analysis will be required to determine whether or not this is what actually occurred.
For now, scientists are saying that they've not quite seen anything like it – and the footage itself is undoubtedly spectacular.
olar shenanigans are not entirely unexpected currently. Our star is ramping up its activity, getting rowdier with sunspot and flare activity. It has flared every day this year so far, and it spat out several X-class and M-class flares in January 2023, the biggest and second-biggest eruptions the Sun is capable of.
This is nothing to be alarmed about. The Sun undergoes activity cycles every 11 or so years, from relatively quiet and peaceful, to absolutely rambunctious.
These cycles coincide with fluctuations in the solar magnetic field. When the magnetic field is at its weakest at the poles, the Sun's magnetic poles switch places, and the polarity of the magnetic field reverses. This is when the Sun is at its most active, known as solar maximum.

Notice how all this started coinciding with the Chink balloon flight over the CONUS.
just adding, not pinging.
It’s a Solar Polar Vortex ...
No, it’s climate change. They don’t call it global warming anymore.
Yeah those experts ignore the real data of sunspot activity and earth’s cooling and heating. Here we have some historical data that is provable. The data is a blip in time but far better and more accurate than the computer model horse crap that is passed off now as data and proof of global warming.
Sunspot data says we better get used to being cold...
