Nearside
& FARSIDE of the Sun
Both SOHO and ACE are
located at the L1 point between the Earth and Sun. This is about 1.5m
km from
Earth (or 932,000 miles).
From this vantage point Solar wind data can be detected about 45 to 60
minutes
before reaching Earth.
Key to solar history above
How magnetism varies cycle-to-cycle: NORTH=WHITE, SOUTH=BLACK. [polarity is read from left to right]
Cycle 23: In the sun's northern hemisphere, all spots are S-N. In the southern hemisphere, all spots are N-S.
Cycle 24: Northern sunspots will become N-S while southern sunspots will become S-N.
This reversal occurs each time one cycle gives way to the next. It is called Hale's Law.
