In direct contradiction to the official forecast, a team of scientists led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is predicting that the Sunspot Cycle that started this fall could be ...

NASA scientists are warning that the sun may be "waking up" from a brief period of relative inactivity, contradicting past assumptions about our home star. If true, this could mean that decades of ...

This morning a very strong solar flare occurred. This flare will enhance the chances of northern lights and could cause communications disruptions. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has detected the ...

With several solar flares and coronal mass ejections soaring out into space, the sun has had an active few months as the current solar cycle gathers momentum. This solar cycle, Solar Cycle 25, is ...

An X7.1 (R3) solar flare erupted from Region 3842 this evening - as seen in this animation (courtesy of jhelioviewer). This was the second strongest flare of Solar ...

A missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles say that our Sun is heading for a rest period even as it is acting up for the first time in years, according to scientists at the ...

The 11-year sunspot cycle is well underway. At the end of 2021, former sunspot cycle 24 finally ended, ushering the next cycle, No. 25. The change of cycles is known in the world of solar physics as a ...

Proof that the current sunspot cycle is percolating right along comes with the appearance a large, new sunspot group that's quadrupled in size over the past few days. Active region 2936 is now about ...

Federal forecasters are warning of a severe solar storm through Tuesday that potentially threatens satellites, orbital communications and some infrastructure. The warning follows a volley of solar ...

It's not likely, but not impossible, we'll see any major activity as we leave the low end of the current sunspot cycle and enter the slow climb to the peak of a new one. That's one of the mysteries of ...

How can 400-year-old sunspot drawings help modern-day scientists with solar cycles? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an international team ...
