[link to www.youtube.com] Watch 1:50, where he mentions the reversal of the polarity of the sunspot....the first so far on this cycle. Does this mean the sun's poles will be flipping soon? Quoting: Tiny Trink Thats a very good sign as the dipole strength wanes. Meridional flows on the Sun's surface carry magnetic fields from mid-latitude sunspots to the Sun's poles," explains Hathaway. "The poles end up flipping because these flows transport south-pointing magnetic flux to the north magnetic pole, and north-pointing flux to the south magnetic pole." The dipole field steadily weakens as oppositely-directed flux accumulates at the Sun's poles until, at the height of solar maximum, the magnetic poles change polarity and begin to grow in a new direction. These spot reversals show this weakening Okay, glad I remembered that right, thought it was a sign that a reversal was in the offing.
