Description
Solar Max
Solar maximum or solar max is a normal period of greatest solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle of the Sun. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows by about 0.07%. The increased energy output of solar maxima can impact Earth's global climate and recent studies have shown some correlation with regional weather patterns.
At solar maximum, the Sun's magnetic field lines are the most distorted due to the magnetic field on the solar equator rotating at a slightly faster pace than at the solar poles. The solar cycle takes an average of about 11 years to go from one solar maximum to the next, with duration observed varying from 9 to 14 years.
Large solar flares often occur during a maximum. For example, the solar storm of 1859 struck the Earth with such intensity that the northern lights could be seen as far south as Rome, approximately 42° north of the equator.

Maximum Solaire
Vue de la Terre, l'influence du Soleil varie principalement selon une période journalière et annuelle. Dans l'absolu, l'activité solaire est réglée par un cycle d'une période moyenne de 11,2 ans - d'un maximum au suivant - mais la durée peut varier entre 8 et 15 ans. L'amplitude des maxima peut varier du simple au triple. Le cycle de 11 ans a été déterminé pour la première fois par l'astronome amateur allemand Heinrich Schwabe vers 1843.
En 1849, l'astronome suisse Johann Rudolf Wolf (1816-1893) établit une méthode de calcul de l'activité solaire basée sur le nombre de taches. Les cycles de Schwabe sont numérotés à partir du maximum de 1761.

Your fractal is a gorgeous complement to the interesting information. Great job Magik. Thanks for sharing.
Magik, ce est une image sensationnelle d'une tempête solaire. Je aime les effets spéciaux, et apprécié la lecture de l'information éducative. Vous êtes un maître à ces présentations.
Love it!!! This is GREAT!!!
and if we have another of the magnitude of 1859, the earth could easily see their electronics go bye-bye unless they are safe within a Faraday cage
very beautiful flame and use of sun
Superbe évocation de notre Soleil! Merci pour les infos!
Beautiful, MU. Great lighting. Corrie
Cool depiction of one.
Beautifully done Magik.
Vraiment fabuleux et la représentation du "vent solaire" est absolument géniale... Outstandingly done once more !!!
I saw your invite a few days ago that you wanted to play pool... what is your rank now? if you're game tomorrow, friday the 13th, I think I might be around for a few games after noon mnt. time. ....your image reminds me of this ripped off mole that is on my leg... haven't seen a dr., no insurance yet, but the pictures I googled look like what I've got... and they're cancer pictures.... I've had it a few months now, this scab that is different than I've ever had.... I'd call your picture: "Cancer Invader"
cool
Came out wonderful.
Wow, c'est comme du nacre, c'est splendide !
Wonderful art!! x
Very beautiful. Fantastic fractal!
Maravilhoso fractal meu amigo adoro o sol no centro a luz é fantástica aqui no Brasil a irradiação solar está em niveis alto.+++++++++++++5 Obrigado pela informação.
amazing
Excellent shot, fantastic colors and details
Very cool.
An outstanding image and zoom. Also enjoyed reading your narrative,
An excellent fractal representation, Real! Superb work and info!
beautiful composition
