The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...

NOAA data confirm Solar Cycle 25 is entering its declining phase after peaking higher and faster than expected, but scientists warn that the risk of extreme geomagnetic storms remains high. Historical ...

Internal changes due to the Sun’s ‘active biorhythm’ have become increasingly ‘skin-deep’ over the past four solar activity cycles, according to a new study. Publishing its findings today (28 May) in ...

A solar flare imaged by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2024. (NASA SDO) Scientists have just realized that surface measurements of the Sun's radiant activity haven't captured its full story.

It appears as though the solar maximum has occurred in this solar cycle. NOAA has updated the forecast for the rest of Solar Cycle 25. A solar cycle lasts on average 11 years from bottom to peak and ...

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to late ...

There are many things with spots: Dalmatians, leopards, ladybugs, overripe bananas, and guys with bald spots are all great examples. Another thing with spots is the Sun! That's right! The Sun, as it ...
