The picture on the left shows a calm sun from October 2010. The right side, from October 2012, shows a much more active and varied solar atmosphere as the sun moves closer to peak solar activity, or solar maximum. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured both images. (NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/SDO)
