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]
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP; previously Solar Probe, Solar Probe Plus or Solar Probe+) [6] is a NASA space probe launched in 2018 to make observations of the Sun's outer corona. It used repeated gravity assists from Venus to develop an eccentric orbit, approaching within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles) [ 7 ] [ 8 ] from ...
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 ...
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 ...
Solar storms and other space weather events can knock out satellite navigation and avian navigation in equal measure, and when the Sun reaches its solar maximum (the greatest period of activity in ...
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
7 This will be the longest solar eclipse of the 25th century. 8 "Crowning" at the top the series. 9 First total solar eclipse visible from London since 2151. [142] The width of its path is predicted to be exceptionally wide at its maximum point. 10 "Crowning" this series. 11 "Crowning" this series. 12 "Crowning" this series.
The total solar eclipse will begin in Mexico at 11:07 a.m. PT and leave continental North America at 5:16 p.m. NT. From the time the partial eclipse first appears on Earth to its final glimpses ...
