Our magnificent Sun: source of Earth's life

The sun just started its 11-years cycle! Nobody knows why, but every 11 years we can see the growing of magnetic activity watching the sunspots and the active regions in h-alpha. It is the source of our life and its behavior influences our Earth... It is magnificent and its power is unimaginable!
