The updated estimate suggests Solar Cycle 25 will peak between January and October 2024, with a maximum sunspot number between 137 and 173. ... The new prediction could also be good news for sky ...
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 ]
On Oct. 3, the strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25 happened when a region of sunspots sent an X9.0 flare blasting out from the Sun. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number ...
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 storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
Solar Cycle 25 has been ongoing, and scientists with NOAA and Nasa have been tracking sunspots to determine and predict solar activity. The past two years marked the active phase of the solar ...
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 ...
“The updated prediction now calls for Solar Cycle 25 to peak between January and October of 2024, with a maximum sunspot number between 137 and 173,” the agency said. Sunspots tend to be the ...
