Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

It turns out that what’s behind the solar cycle is these periodic changes in the Sun’s magnetic field. (It’s important to note here that the eleven-year cycle is technically the “sunspot ...

A large team of researchers working on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Collaboration, which has been analyzing eleven years' ...

Nasa, NOAA, and the international Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have announced that the Sun has entered its solar maximum period, marking the peak of its 11-year activity cycle. This phase ...

There were significantly more X-class solar flares in 2024 than any other year for at least three decades. The arrival of solar maximum was a key reason for the spike, but other factors were also at ...

The Sun has entered a period of maximum activity in its 11-year cycle, which means changes in space weather are expected. This provides scientists with a valuable opportunity to study the star ...

The sun is at the peak of its 11-year cycle. That means an uptick in solar flares will lead to more chances to see the northern lights over the next couple of years.

See and hear for yourself how the number of flares and their intensity increase, a clear sign of the sun approaching the peak of the 11-year solar cycle. This video combines ultraviolet images of ...

It erupted from the far side of the sun and was accompanied by a massive ... We’re nearing the peak of the current 11-year solar cycle, which is usually defined by an abundance of sunspots ...
