The solar maximum, the apex of the sun's 11-year activity cycle, is when all types of solar weather, which includes more coronal mass ejections and geomagnetic storms, will occur most frequently.

NASA said a “solar maximum” was reached in October 2024, marking an increased rate of space weather events responsible for auroral activity, including coronal mass ejections. Activity on the ...

The aurora is thanks to a coronal mass ejection that occurred on Jan. 22. NASA says the coronal mass ejection was an M5.5 class flare and it was ejected in a trajectory that puts it on a ...
