'Something unexpected' is happening on the Sun, Nasa has warned.

This year was supposed to be the year of 'solar maximum,' the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle.

But as this image reveals, solar activity is relatively low.

That's right. Sunspot cycle 24 has been completely outside their predictions...and now they are suggesting a double peak later on at the end of 2013!
