When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the Sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the Sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic ...

You could get more opportunities to see supercharged auroras over the next few months, thanks to our very active sun. Solar activity waxes and wanes on an 11-year cycle. The current cycle, known as ...

Establishing a key link between the solar cycle and global climate, research led by scientists at the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in ...

Like the number of sunspots, the occurrence of solar flares follows the approximately 11-year solar cycle. But as the current Solar Cycle 25 approaches its peak, how are the number of solar flares ...

NOAA’s latest reporting shows Solar Cycle 25 with multiple numbered sunspot regions and generally low solar activity, alongside forecasts for quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions. NASA’s SPHEREx ...

Solar scientists have spotted indications that the next solar cycle is beginning. That is despite the fact that it isn't due for another six years, and the current solar cycle (Cycle 25) is still in ...

Scientists forecasting solar weather have finally acknowledged that the initial predictions for the current solar cycle were way off. The researchers now say that we are fast approaching an explosive ...

The unexpected surge of solar activity during the ongoing solar maximum may be tied to a lesser-known, 100-year-long cycle that is just beginning to ramp up again, a new study suggests. If that's true ...
