Solar Cycle #24 has stalled and gives rise to some very pertinent questions: Has our sun entered a maunder minimum and did that cause the Little Ice Age? Could this be happening again right now, or will the 2011-2012 solar maximum become hyperactive???

One of the institute's goals are to begin satellite studies on the Earth's magnetic field, which protects us from extreme space weather and without it we would be fried on the ground; so, it's important to understand how it works!
