We know that the sun has entered its peak phase of activity, called solar maximum. But are we still in it, or is solar maximum already behind us? Let's see what the data has to say. We have tracked ...

The recent flurry of solar storms suggests the sun is in a period of maximal activity as part of its 11-year cycle. The active period is likely to continue over the next year, so more auroras could be ...

This year has given stargazers plenty of opportunities to catch the colorful auroras of the northern lights flicker across the night sky, and that's expected to continue as the sun is now in its solar ...

People in the U.S. were treated to stunning auroras last week when a powerful geomagnetic storm pushed the celestial displays as far south as Florida and Mexico. The spectacle was particularly ...

Images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory highlight the appearance of the Sun at solar minimum (left, Dec. 2019) versus solar maximum (right, May 2024). These images are in the 171 wavelength of ...

Back in 2019, a consortium of scientists predicted August 2025 as the peak of the solar activity cycle. But where are we now? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

New research suggests that the unexpected intensity of the ongoing solar maximum may be partly tied to a lesser-known, 100-year solar cycle. If true, solar activity could spike further in the coming ...

Recent spatial activity has noticed a spike in solar events, which led to unexpected effects on the planet. This included the frequent wrapping of the auroras around the Earth in a beautiful spectacle ...
