sun, NASA and solar maximum
The sun will be really 'stormy' for the next year, NASA says
The sun has reached its "solar maximum period," which is a state of heightened activity in its 11-year solar cycle. It's normal, but will almost certainly bring more solar storms — the type that can disrupt our power grid and communication systems, but also light up the sky with brilliant auroras.
NASA says the sun is at its 'solar maximum'
The sun is at a point where its two poles have flipped, and NASA says that means we'll get more light shows here on Earth — including a more visible northern lights. The sun is at its "solar maximum" period, which is part of an 11-year cycle — night now, the sun's north and south magnetic pole have flipped.
The Sun Is At ‘Solar Maximum’ And Aurora Will Now Spike, NASA Says
Scientists at NASA and NOAA think the sun has reached the maximum phase of the solar cycle, which means another year — at least — of intense Northern Lights.
Expect Geomagnetic Storms And Aurora: The Sun Has Reached Solar Maximum, NASA Announces
NASA has announced that the Sun has reached its solar maximum period in the solar cycle, with more geomagnetic storms and aurora expected in the coming months. Solar activity increases and decreases over the 11-year solar cycle – also known as the Schwabe cycle,
The sun is now in its solar maximum, meaning more aurora activity
This peak of activity is expected to last for another year, according to NASA.
NASA, NOAA: Sun reaches maximum phase in 11-year solar cycle
Experts have announced that the Sun has reached its solar maximum period, which could continue for the next year. Scientists will not be able to determine the exact peak of this solar maximum period for many months because it's only identifiable after they've tracked a consistent decline in solar activity after that peak.
The Sun has reached solar maximum, NASA and NOAA scientists say
Aurora watchers and sun gazers, take heart — our star could remain at this level of activity for another year.
NASA issue warning over solar storms as solar maximum approaches
NASA released an explainer video about the Solar Maximum, the period when solar activity is at it's peak, occurring roughly every 11 years, when the magnetic field of the sun flips.
It's Official: NASA Declares The Solar Maximum Is Happening Now
NASA, the NOAA, and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that solar maximum is now underway.
