This NASA handout image obtained July 12, 2017 shows the Great Red Spot on Jupiter taken by the Juno Spacecraft on its flyby over the storm on July 11. NASA's Juno successfully peered into the giant storm raging on Jupiter.

Why Jupiter’s big spot is dying

JUPITER’S Great Red Spot, which has been observed since the 1600s, is shrinking fast. Now astronomers say they know how long it will take for the Solar System’s largest storm to blow itself out.

This handout image provided by NASA on March 7, 2012, shows a color-coded image combines observations made by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in several extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, highlighting a bright X-class flare toward the upper left of the sun's disk on March 6. This flare was categorized as an X5.4, making it the second largest flare -- after an X6.9 on August 9, 2011. A pair of steamy explosions on the Sun's surface in recent days is sparking the biggest radiation and geomagnetic storm the Earth has experienced in five years, space weather experts said March 7. The full brunt of the storm is expected to hit Earth early Thursday US time and last through Friday, potentially disrupting power grids, GPS systems, satellites, and forcing airplanes to change their routes around the polar regions. = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT |AFP PHOTO / NASA| - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS =

Our Sun may be due for a 'grand minimum' in its 11-year hot-cold cycle, cooling the Earth by several tenths of a degree Celcius and tumbling weather patterns.

Why our sun is growing dim

IT’S producing less sunspots, less magnetism and less ultraviolet radiation. But don’t expect this once-in-400-year cooldown by our life-giving Sun to halt climate change.

In this photo released on August 8, 2010 shows almost the entire Earth-facing side of the sun erupting in a tumult of activity on August 1, 2010. This image from the Solar Dynamics Observatory of the news-making solar event on August 1 shows the C3-class solar flare (white area on upper left), a solar tsunami (wave-like structure, upper right), multiple filaments of magnetism lifting off the stellar surface, large-scale shaking of the solar corona, radio bursts, a coronal mass ejection and more. This multi-wavelength extreme ultraviolet snapshot from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the sun's northern hemisphere in mid-eruption. Different colors in the image represent different gas temperatures. Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from the solar flare impact on August 3, 2010, which sparked aurorae as far south as Wisconsin and Iowa in the United States. Analysts believe a second solar flare is following behind the first flare and could re-energize the fading geomagnetic storm and spark a new round of Northern Lights. AFP PHOTO/NASA
