What is going on with the Sun?


The Sun is currently in a solar maximum, a condition that occurs every 11 years where the Sun experiences a lot of sunspot activity.  However, scientists are baffled at the blemish free appearance of the sun leading some to speculate that we may be in store for a 'twin peak' maximum cycle.  If these sunspots throw flares at our beautiful blue orb, we could be in for some disruptions.  Only time will tell.  For now, we will keep our eyes to the sky.
