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 ]
Following is a comparison of the growth of cycle 25 versus cycle 24, using the 13-month sunspot averages, beginning with the months of the respective minimums. Numbers in brackets for cycle 25 indicate the minimum possible value for that month, assuming there are no more sunspots between now (Feb 20, 2025) and six months after the end of the ...
A preliminary consensus by a solar cycle 25 Prediction Panel was made in early 2019. [24] The Panel, which was organized by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and NASA, based on the published solar cycle 25 predictions, concluded that solar cycle 25 will be very similar to solar cycle 24. They anticipate that the solar cycle minimum ...
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.
The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel forecast that the coming year would be below-average for sun activity. But scientists say the increase could be higher. Northern lights activity is sky-high ...
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
