Two NASA studies suggest the sun's movement through the galaxy and its youthful superflares influenced Earth's climate. The heliosphere's trajectory may explain past ice ages, while a dimmer young sun could have warmed Earth via greenhouse gas production. These findings offer new perspectives on climate variability.
