In addition to the 5-minute oscillations, much longer-period oscillations were predicted to exist in stars more than 40 years ago, but had not been identified on the Sun until now.

While data about the effects of these circadian oscillations is scarce, misaligned temperatures cues have caused other species of trees to go into out-of-season dormancy, the period when a tree ...
