Solar Forecasting Advances from Sun Analysis
Researchers used BiSON's six telescopes to analyze sound waves in the Sun's internal structure.
2008–2009 solar minimum showed stronger helium glitches and faster sound speeds.
Results could improve solar forecasting by modeling 2008–2009 shifts.
Deep minima shifts may affect next solar cycle's momentum.
Techniques could apply to other stars via PLATO (European Space Agency).
