Description
Every 11 years, the sun completes a solar cycle of calm and stormy activity and begins a new one. Moving regularly from its most quiet period – solar minimum – to its most active – solar maximum – and back to quiet. Those periods of activity on the sun create what’s known as space weather. Solar cycle prediction helps give scientists a rough idea of the frequency of space weather storms of all types, from radio blackouts to geomagnetic storms and solar radiation storms. Space weather can impact the power grid, satellites, GPS, and airlines, as well as astronauts and spacecraft. In September 2020 the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, announced that a new solar cycle has begun. Recently Sun has started showing several groups of sunspots and huge prominences which are many times the size of our earth. In the coming months, we shall expect many Solar features.
