While Earth's north and south magnetic poles have remained in place for the past 30,000 years, the sun's poles flip-flop every 11 years--so that the needles of any would-be solar compasses would swing 180[degrees]. The reversal is preceded by a kind of magnetic sparkling across the sun's surface--as if it were suddenly the site of millions of toy magnets, each with its own poles...
