In direct contradiction to the official forecast, a team of scientists led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is predicting that the Sunspot Cycle that started this fall could be ...
The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar ...
Like you and I the sun has cycles. None of us escapes the day-night rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. The most visible of the sun's rhythms is the 11 year solar cycle also called the sunspot cycle.
The unexpected surge of solar activity during the ongoing solar maximum may be tied to a lesser-known, 100-year-long cycle that is just beginning to ramp up again, a new study suggests. If that's true ...
The most active sunspot of Solar Cycle 25, AR3663, has done it again! Launching yet another X-class solar flare as it approaches the sun's western limb. And it's not alone; its sunspot 'cousin' AR3664 ...
The solar cycle continues to ramp up with currently the largest number of sunspots in the last two decades and maybe even longer. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center(SWPC) reports the estimated ...
One way to track the solar cycle is by counting the number of sunspots, which are dark, cooler patches on the Sun’s surface.
A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM ...
Federal forecasters are warning of a severe solar storm through Tuesday that potentially threatens satellites, orbital communications and some infrastructure. The warning follows a volley of solar ...
How can 400-year-old sunspot drawings help modern-day scientists with solar cycles? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an international team ...
The AR3590 sunspot region is the largest of the solar cycle and is responsible for the most powerful solar flare seen since 2017. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
