Solar Activity Set to Ramp Up
New Solar Cycle Begins, Bringing Increased Risk of Geomagnetic Storms
Sun's Activity to Peak in 2025
December 2019 marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 25, a period of increased activity on the Sun. The Sun's activity will gradually ramp up until solar maximum, which is predicted to occur in 2025.
As the Sun approaches solar maximum, it will produce more intense and frequent solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These eruptions can trigger geomagnetic storms on Earth, which can disrupt power grids, communications, and satellite systems.
The risk of geomagnetic storms is expected to increase significantly in the coming years as the Sun approaches its peak activity. These storms could cause widespread havoc and trillions of dollars in economic losses.
Scientists are closely monitoring the Sun's activity and are developing new technologies to mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center are two of the organizations that are working to protect our planet from the Sun's wrath.
The Sun's activity is a natural phenomenon that has been occurring for billions of years. However, the increasing risk of geomagnetic storms is a reminder that we are not immune to the Sun's powerful influence.
