Previously scientists from the Wilcox Stanford Solar Observatory University reported that three to four months may occur a change in the polarity of the global magnetic field of the Sun, which, in their said going on at the peak of the 11 year solar cycle activity. Polarization of the global magnetic field of the Sun, o the possibilities that NASA is reporting will go unnoticed and for Earth, and for the entire solar system, told RIA Novosti specialist in physics of the Sun, an employee of the Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI) Sergey Bogachev. Previously, scientists from the Solar Observatory Wilcox Stanford University reported that three to four months, the polarity of the global magnetic field may change The sun, which they say is happening at the peak of the 11-year cycle solar activity. Bogachev explained that we are talking about a change the polarity of not the entire magnetic field of the sun, but only one of its component. Unlike the Earth, whose magnetic field is formed in the center of the planet, the magnetic fields of the sun are formed mainly at its surface. One of their manifestations are, in particular, sun spots. The second component is the global field – much weaker. “The fact is that in addition to strong magnetic fields that is associated with sunspots that causes flashes, there is a global field – like Earth. His very existence – a debatable question. It is believed that it is, but it is extremely weak, approximately equal to the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field, while about five thousand times weaker than the magnetic field in the spots. His it’s very difficult to notice against the background of the field in spots, “said Bogachev. Therefore, the scientist noted, it’s very difficult to determine even the exact position of the magnetic poles of the sun. “I’m not very sure that modern methods can reliably detect such thin effects, like a change of these poles, “said the scientist.” Even if the process that American scientists are talking about is real, it’s completely not dangerous, since all flashes and magnetic storms connected not with the global field of the Sun, but with the field of spots, “- added he.
