The Sun — usually so predictable — is exhibiting some surprising behavior and that has scientists very intrigued. Astronomers had predicted that our host star was entering a period of relative quiet back in 2008, but NASA scientists have published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that found that the Sun has instead defied expectations by becoming more active, with increased sunspots and solar flares. "All signs were pointing to t…
'The sun is slowly waking up': NASA warns that there may be more extreme space weather for decades to come
A new NASA study suggests that solar activity will remain high or rise further in the coming decades, contradicting previous assumptions that the sun was quieting down — and scientists "don't completely understand" why.
New research by Nasa shows that the sun's activity is increasing again, which could have an impact on the Earth's space weather and technical systems.
The world, our world, revolves around the Sun. As do the rest of the planets in the cosmic neighborhood in which we live. So it is no wonder that with such prominence the international scientific community has been paying attention to what is happening on its surface for decades. During the last few years important milestones have been achieved that have allowed us to learn more closely the mysteries of our star. Undoubtedly one of them has been…
