NASA said the sun is expected to reach the peak of Solar Cycle 25 in 2025. By then sunspots located in regions of intense magnetic activity should increase, according to the NOAA.
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 ]
The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international scientific group sponsored by NASA and NOAA that forecasts sunspot activity, forecast in 2019 that the coming year would be below-average ...
Northern lights activity to increase during solar maximum. ... As the sun reaches the peak of Solar Cycle 25, ... Even the best predictions can only accurately be made a few days or even hours in ...
The solar storms of May 2024 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. The geomagnetic storm was the most powerful to affect Earth since March 1989 , [ a ] and produced aurorae at far more equatorial latitudes than usual in both ...
The latest geomagnetic storms and associated Aurora activity occurred weeks after NOAA and NASA declared the Sun reached its solar maximum in Solar Cycle 25. However, space weather experts say the ...
The updated figure (right) shows the variations and contrasts solar cycles 14 and 24, a century apart, that are quite similar in all solar activity measures (in fact cycle 24 is slightly less active than cycle 14 on average), yet the global mean air surface temperature is more than 1 degree Celsius higher for cycle 24 than cycle 14, showing the ...
‘Significant change’ in Sun’s activity may come as good news for sky watchers ahead of next year’s solar eclipse
