Sun's magnetic activity shows mysterious decade-long shift

Astronomers have detected a significant and unexplained shift in the Sun's magnetic activity over the past decade. While the Sun typically follows an 11-year cycle of high and low activity, new analysis of long-term solar oscillation data reveals a mismatch between internal magnetic signals and surface observations like sunspots. This discrepancy suggests that magnetic activity is becoming increasingly concentrated beneath the Sun's visible surface, a phenomenon not fully understood and potentially linked to longer solar cycles.
