The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel predicted in December 2019 [11] that solar cycle 25 will be similar to solar cycle 24, with the preceding solar cycle minimum in April 2020 (± 6 months), and the number of sunspots reaching a (smoothed) maximum of 115 in July 2025 (± 8 months). This prediction is in line with the current general agreement ...
As at Jan 3, 2025, solar cycle 25 is averaging 39% more spots per day than solar cycle 24 at the same point in the cycle (Jan 3, 2014). Year 1 of SC25 (Dec 2019 to Nov 2020) averaged 101% more spots per day than year 1 of SC24. Year 2 of SC25 (Dec 2020 to Nov 2021) averaged 7% more spots per day than year 2 of SC24.
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 ...

The peak of activity – the solar maximum – occurs when the sun's north and south magnetic poles flip. When that happens, the sun "transitions from being calm to an active and stormy state ...
Mission name Cancellation date Description Status and reason Ref(s) VIPER: 2024 Lunar rover "NASA stated cost increases, delays to the launch date, and the risks of future cost growth as the reasons to stand down on the mission."
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...
