Sep 15, 2020 · Scientists use sunspots to track solar cycle progress; the dark blotches on the Sun are associated with solar activity, often as the origins for giant explosions – such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections – which can spew light, energy, and solar material into space.
Jul 29, 2021 · How about solar magnetic storms, which are due to reach a cyclical peak in 2025—and could cause widespread havoc and trillions of dollars of damage on Earth.
Oct 13, 2023 · So it should come as no surprise that a team at NASA has been busily applying AI models to solar storm data to develop an early warning system that they think could give the planet about 30 minutes' notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a particular area.
May 15, 2024 · On May 14, 2024, the Sun emitted a strong solar flare. This solar flare is the largest of Solar Cycle 25 and is classified as an X8.7 flare.
Mar 30, 2023 · In addition, the risk of geomagnetic storms and devastating effects on our society is presently increasing as we approach the next “solar maximum” – a peak in the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle – which is expected to arrive sometime in 2025.
Jul 20, 2022 · The current one will peak in 2025, scientists say, by which time flares will be more intense and extreme. This could be cause for some concern. Our existing internet communication structure is...
Sep 17, 2020 · As sunspots and flares, signs of a new solar cycle, bubble from the Sun’s surface, scientists are anticipating a flurry of solar activity over the next few years. In this video, view the Sun from our space telescopes as it transitions from minimum to maximum.
Apr 25, 2023 · We're close to the next solar maximum, predicted to begin in 2025. The solar maximum represents a peak in solar activity when the sun's magnetic field reaches its strongest and most disordered...
Dec 31, 2023 · As we approach the peak of Solar Cycle 25, we should expect to see more sunspots, each of which is a region of intense magnetic activity capable of producing solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. This period of elevated activity can last up to several years, with impactful space weather events possible in 2024.
Feb 27, 2023 · Solar activity could increase as the sun reaches its maximum electromagnetic phase in 2025. By Jon Kelvey. Posted on Feb 27, 2023 5:56 AM EST. 6 minute read. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory...
