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 ...

The sun erupted with a major X3.3-class solar flare on October 23, 2024, originating from sunspot region AR3869. Recorded by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), this event has implications for ...

"Half-forgotten" sunspot drawings by Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler are showing us more about how the sun's cycle of activities work. Kepler (1571-1630), who was born in what we now call ...

Has the sun already reached solar maximum? New data suggests Solar Cycle 25 may have peaked earlier than expected. Find out what this means. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

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 true ...
