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 ...

A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM ...

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 ...

The solar cycle continues to ramp up with currently the largest number of sunspots in the last two decades and maybe even longer. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center(SWPC) reports the estimated ...

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 ...

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 ...

The AR3590 sunspot region is the largest of the solar cycle and is responsible for the most powerful solar flare seen since 2017. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

This historically large sunspot, now 15 times wider than Earth, rivals the one linked to the colossal solar storm of 1859. Reading time 3 minutes The Sun is a hot mess right now. Solar maximum is fast ...

WASHINGTON - When the sun sneezes it's Earth that gets sick. It's time for the sun to move into a busier period for sunspots, and while forecasters expect a relatively mild outbreak by historical ...

Using modern techniques, researchers have re-examined Johannes Kepler's half-forgotten sunspot drawings and revealed previously hidden information about the solar cycles before the grand solar minimum ...

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 ...
