Everything Everywhere Daily - The Solar Cycle

Approximately every eleven years, our sun experiences a cycle in which its magnetic poles flip. During this cycle, solar flares and sunspot activity increase, and then the sun returns to a state of relative calm. 

These solar cycles have been tracked for over two hundred years and are among the best-recorded aspects of solar astronomy.

These extremes, known as the solar maximum and solar minimum, affect the sun and can have implications for the Earth. 

Learn more about the solar cycle and the ebbing and flowing of the sun on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Up First from NPR - The Art of Being Single

For generations, we've been sold a singular story of happiness: find "the one," live happily ever after. But what if there is no "one?" What if you're alone? When Meghan Keane, the creator of NPR's Life Kit, found the dating process miserable, she set off to find fulfillment in being single. Her new book Party of One, illustrated by LA Johnson, follows her voyage beyond the traditional path. With insights from marriage historians and rumination researchers, the ideas she gathers ease the relationship pressure on anyone – coupled, single, or somewhere in between.

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Nobel Prize Edition

Each weekend on Best Of The Gist, we listen back to an archival Gist segment from the past, then we replay something from the past week. This weekend, we listen back to an extended cut of Mike’s 2023 interview with Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson, who were then the recent authors of the new book Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity, and who won the 2024 Nobel Prize for Economics this past week. Then we replay Mike’s recent treatise on when journalism achieves the goals of art, but doesn't quite tell the accurate story.
