NOAA has updated the forecast for the rest of Solar Cycle 25. A solar cycle lasts on average 11 years from bottom to peak and back to bottom. Experts have been counting the solar cycles back to ...

Accumulated data from scientific satellites indicates a recent drop in the inner belt’s proton flux levels, suggesting the ...

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 ...

We have currently just passed the maximum of Solar Cycle 25 and see hints that Solar Cycle 26 is gearing up, so it is probably going to be during Cycle 28 or 29 that we will see the peak of ...

A new geomagnetic storm, part of a trend expected to intensify as Solar Cycle 25 reaches its peak this summer, is likely to enhance the northern lights, giving residents in the northeastern U.S. a ...
