An astonishing discovery was made on the surface of the sun by researchers, who analyzed with great attention from a distance everything that happens there, and how we could be affected. According to the discoveries made by the researchers, on the surface of the sun there are so-called tsunamis of hot plasma that move towards the interior of the sun, so we are talking about a very intense activity for the most important celestial body in the galaxy.
The Sun has categorized these tsunamis as "terminator type events", which indicate that the current solar cycle is about to end, the magnetic fields and spectral irradiance also being analyzed. According to researchers who carefully analyze the sun, the current solar cycle would end in the first part of 2020, so there are still a few months in which phenomena of this kind will be observed.

It turns out that this discovery about the sun is not exactly new, the evidence of the existence of these events being recorded almost a century ago, but the researchers did not know how to discover them at that time. It is necessary to combine several elements to be able to reach the conclusion that the sun is going to end its cycle at a given moment, but since this does not happen very often, the procedure will be improved.
"Evidence for 'terminator events' has been hidden in the observational record for more than a century, but until now we didn't know what we were looking for. By combining such a variety of observations over several years, we were able to piece together these events and provide a whole new look at how the solar cycle takes place inside the Sun. In the coming year, we should have a unique opportunity to widely observe an ongoing 'terminator event' and then watch the launch of the 25th solar cycle."
Another study that analyzed tsunamis on the sun concluded that some of them can generate so-called "sunspots", these tsunamis traveling at speeds of 300 meters per second when they occur. At the end of the next solar cycle, researchers will have the opportunity to analyze more carefully these phenomena that take place on the sun, and they will be able to find out to what extent the Earth is affected by what is happening there.
The sun is our source of light, and it affects our daily life extremely much, so it will be interesting to see what the researchers will discover after the analysis they will do in the early part of 2020.
