NASA | Alex Young Interview About Our Sun's Magnetic Flip

The video discusses the upcoming flip of the sun's magnetic poles, explaining the nature of magnetic fields and their significance in solar activity. Dr. Alex Young from NASA elaborates on the solar cycle, which spans approximately 11 years, and how it leads to the reversal of the sun's magnetic field. This solar activity, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections, affects Earth's technology, causing disruptions in communications and power grids, but also creates auroras. Viewers are directed to NASA's website for more information and imagery.
