NASA says the sun is in the highly active "maximum phase" of its 11-year solar cycle.. That means there will probably be big solar storms bringing beautiful aurora in the next year or so. Solar ...
Solar maximum is the regular period of greatest solar activity during the Sun's 11-year solar cycle. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear, and the solar irradiance output grows by about 0.07%. [2] On average, the solar cycle takes about 11 years to go from one solar maximum to the next, with duration observed varying from 9 to ...
Solar cycle 25 is the current solar cycle, the 25th since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. It began in December 2019 with a minimum smoothed sunspot number of 1.8. [2] It is expected to continue until about 2030. [3] [4]
Scientists said the sun is now in its solar maximum, or the peak of its 11-year solar cycle.

Scientists from NOAA, NASA and the international Solar Cycle Prediction Panel announced in October that the sun has reached solar maximum, or the peak of activity within its 11-year cycle. At the ...
In 2024, the sun enters its solar maximum—birds don't know what's about to hit them. Space weather may seriously send their internal compasses into disarray. In 2024, the sun enters its solar ...
