Aphelion Sun
On 07/05/2024 03:08 pm by Patricio Leon| Santiago, Chile
in the day our Earth is at aphelion the sun shows low activity and a pair of moderately sized dark cores; current eccentricity of our orbit around the sun is 0.017, quite low, but this value can increase almost four times in secular variations during hundreds of thousand of years
