The sun is gearing up for a major solar flip, NASA says.
In an event that occurs once every 11 years, the magnetic field of the sun will change its polarity in a matter of months, according new observations by NASA-supported observatories.

Apparently this occurs every 11 years, but this is the first time it will happen after the Earth entered into the other side of the galactic plane, December, 2012.
Not at all sure what, if any, significance it has.
There have been reports in the alternative media that the polarity of the Earth's magnetic field may flip at some time too, and that would have a major impact on global positioning communications, compasses, and who knows what else.

"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up," Scherrer said. "Soon, however, both poles will be reversed, and the second half of solar max will be underway."
The current solar maximum is the weakest in 100 years, experts have said. Usually, at the height of a solar cycle, sunspot activity increases. These dark regions on the sun's surface can give birth to solar flares and ejections, but there have been fewer observed sunspots this year than in the maximums of previous cycles.

Please define "galactic plane" for me, do it now.
