From the NewScientist article: "Bernhard Fleck, project scientist for NASA's and the European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, calls the paper solid work, but adds that even if we missed the northern maximum, the southern hemisphere is still expected to put on a show." The southern magnetic field only recently began to reverse, previously being quite disinclined to shed it's current polarity. The sun still has plenty of convulsions yet to be made before it can wrap this max up. And always, he fought the temptation to choose a clear, safe course, warning: "That path leads ever down into stagnation." |

SDO is performing a flip of the HMI instrument as it begins its Fall maneuvers. Wed, 03 Oct Today at 1830 UTC (2:30 pm ET) we will perform the HMI roll maneuver. The images are usually oriented to solar north before we see them, but sometimes we get the watch the Sun appear to spin around. It keeps the instruments in good shape and allows the scientists to study the shape of the Sun. A recent article in Science magazine describes the surprising result that came from combining SDO and other measurements of the solar shape. The Sun is slightly oblate but less so than expected and without a change over the solar cycle. More data is needed to understand why the Sun doesn't quite behave as we think it should.
