Solar maximum or solar max is a normal period of greatest solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle of the Sun. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows by about 0.07%.he smoothed sunspot number has already reached 67 (in February 2012) due to the strong peak in late 2011 so the official maximum will be at least this high. The smoothed sunspot number has been flat over the last four months.
Lalande 21185 is a flare star, like UV Ceti shown flaring at left. UV Ceti is an extreme example of a flare star that can boost its brightness by five times in less than a minute, then fall somewhat slower back down to normal luminosity within two or three minutes before flaring suddenly again after several hours.stronomers have identified Lalande 21185 as a prime target for NASA's optical SIM and the ESA's infrared Darwin missions, now both indefinitely postponed. Due to Lalande 21185's proximity to Sol, the star has been an object of intense interest among astronomers.
