In direct contradiction to the official forecast, a team of scientists led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is predicting that the Sunspot Cycle that started this fall could be ...
Like you and I the sun has cycles. None of us escapes the day-night rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. The most visible of the sun's rhythms is the 11 year solar cycle also called the sunspot cycle.
The solar cycle continues to ramp up with currently the largest number of sunspots in the last two decades and maybe even longer. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center(SWPC) reports the estimated ...
With several solar flares and coronal mass ejections soaring out into space, the sun has had an active few months as the current solar cycle gathers momentum. This solar cycle, Solar Cycle 25, is ...

Giant sunspot that triggered recent solar 'superstorm' shot out nearly 1,000 flares and a secret X-rated explosion, record-breaking study reveals
The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar flares, including a hidden X-class outburst, a new paper reveals. The study sets ...
The strongest solar flare in half a decade just launched off the sun from the same sunspot group that triggered dazzling auroras last weekend. But don't expect northern lights this time around. When ...
It's not likely, but not impossible, we'll see any major activity as we leave the low end of the current sunspot cycle and enter the slow climb to the peak of a new one. That's one of the mysteries of ...
