Начался новый солнечный цикл

A new cycle has begun on our Sun. Over the past year, the Sun's magnetic field has reset and now a new 11 year period is beginning. Pictured above in a specific color of light emitted by hydrogen is sunspot 10982, one of the first sunspots of the new solar cycle. The two dark lines visible just above and to either side of the bright sunspot are cool filaments held aloft by the Sun's magnetic field. Hot and cold regions are shown as regions of relative light and dark, respectively.
According to this, the late appearance of these signs portends a weaker-than-average cycle and cooler temperatures on Earth. Thus, the recent plateau in global temperature is likely to continue.
