Mystery of solar cycle illuminated
In the convection zone of the star, the plasma currents make a huge turnover that lasts about 22 years (mps) Solar activity fluctuates in a rhythm of about eleven years, which is reflected among other things in the frequency of sunspots. A complete magnetic period lasts 22 years. Scientists have long been puzzling over what causes this cycle.

NASA’s TESS, Spitzer missions discover a world orbiting a unique young star near us
For decades, a nearby star named AU Microscopii has intrigued astronomers as a possible home for planets. Now, scientists using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and retired Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered a planet about as large as Neptune-one that circles the young star in just over a week.
