Just like hurricane seasons, solar maximums vary in intensity.

就象飓风季节，太阳活动高峰期在强度上会变化。

The sun is entering a peak phase of flares called solar maximum.

太阳正进入耀斑的高峰期，称为太阳极大值。

Right now we should be in the middle of such a solar maximum.

而此时此刻我们应该是出于太阳磁场活动最高峰的阶段。

The least sunspots in an 11-year period is considered solar minimum, while the most sunspot signifies the solar maximum.

太阳黑子数量最少的11年时期被认为是太阳活动极小期，而太阳黑子数量最多的时期则代表太阳活动极大期。

To examine the upcoming solar maximum period, countries around the world have launched multiple sun-gazing space observatories in recent years.

为了研究即将到来的太阳活动峰年，世界各国近年来发射了多个观测太阳的空间天文台。

We call that period solar maximum and those periods are interspersed about 5 years apart from periods we call solar minimum.

我们称那周期为“太阳活动高峰期”，而那些周期是从太阳活动期里分离出来的5年周期。

Okay, so it's not like a Nic Cage disaster movie, but solar maximum can have consequences in space and on earth.

好，超级耀斑并不像尼克·凯奇灾难片中的那样，但太阳活动极大期会对太空和地球造成影响。

And why are these probes doing this now, because the sun is heading towards what's known as solar maximum which is the peak of solar activity every 11 years.

为什么这些探测器现在要这样做，因为太阳正在朝着每11年一次的太阳活动高峰期前进。

This allows scientists to capture and study unprecedented images of the sun during its most active phase, known as solar maximum, a period of intense solar activity set to peak around 2025.

这使得科学家能够捕捉和研究太阳最活跃阶段前所未有的图像，该阶段被称为太阳活动峰年，这是一个太阳活动将在 2025 年左右达到顶峰的强烈时期。
