Space weather experts warn that solar activity will persist or even increase after solar maximum has ended and we enter a phase of the solar cycle dubbed the "battle zone." When you purchase ...

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 ...

The sun is ramping up for Solar Cycle 25's solar maximum at a faster rate than previously expected, which could have knock-on effects on future space missions, experts say. At solar maximum ...

The cycle is aligning more with a study from a team lead by Scott McIntosh of National Center for Atmospheric Research, published in Solar Physics. With more activity comes an increase in space ...

according to a study published in the journal Space Weather. The rise in the ongoing solar activity could be linked to a 100-year-long cycle that was coming back again. If this were to be proved ...

The solar cycle generally lasts around 11 years ... Strong geomagnetic storms can cause problems for astronauts in space, along with GPS systems and satellites in orbit. Eruptions from the ...

“This announcement doesn’t mean that this is the peak of solar activity we’ll see this solar cycle,” Elsayed Talaat, director of space weather operations at NOAA, said Tuesday. “While ...

A strong geomagnetic storm cold bring the Northern Lights as far south as New York over the next few nights. An issue, aside ...

Another telltale but subtle sign is that rumblings of the next solar cycle will start to creep in, space weather scientist Scott McIntosh said. In July, scientists announced that they detected ...

"That's the source of a bunch of the space weather storms that we're looking for and predict." Dahl said this solar cycle has been much more active than originally anticipated by an international ...
