Solar magnetism is a fundamental driver of dynamic phenomena on the Sun, manifesting in cyclic variations such as sunspot activity, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Central to this process is the ...
Brace yourselves, Earthlings: NASA, the NOAA, and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that solar maximum is now underway. What does that mean? Our Sun is reaching the peak of its ...
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. These processes follow the solar cycle, an 11-year cycle of increasing and decreasing activity on ...
We know that the sun has entered its peak phase of activity, called solar maximum. But are we still in it, or is solar maximum already behind us? Let's see what the data has to say. Although we cannot ...
Strongest solar storm in two decades struck earth resulting in rare aurorae far from the poles. What are these solar storms? How are aurorae formed?
The sun is powered by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium, deep within its core. Above the sun's surface, however, a different force dominates: electromagnetism. This force is responsible for ...
Back in 2019, a consortium of scientists predicted August 2025 as the peak of the solar activity cycle. But where are we now? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
New research suggests that the unexpected intensity of the ongoing solar maximum may be partly tied to a lesser-known, 100-year solar cycle. If true, solar activity could spike further in the coming ...
Solar observers are in for an electrifying time. The total solar eclipse will grace North America on April 8th, and with our celestial neighbor entering a phase of heightened activity known as a solar ...
