2. looking forward to someone

finding another source, the poles of the sun reverse every 11 years, so this kind of fluctuation might be normal to that phenomena.

3. That is the sunspot cycle not the magnetic pole shift.

And they only guessed that it shifted 300 years ago.

4. Yes it does flip according to NASA

February 15, 2001 -- You can't tell by looking, but scientists say the Sun has just undergone an important change. Our star's magnetic field has flipped.

The Sun's magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere just a few months ago, now points south. It's a topsy-turvy situation, but not an unexpected one.

"This always happens around the time of solar maximum," says David Hathaway, a solar physicist at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The magnetic poles exchange places at the peak of the sunspot cycle. In fact, it's a good indication that Solar Max is really here."
