The sun is more active than experts predicted. It could mean more grounded flights, downed satellites, and stunning aurora.

The sun is exhibiting unexpected high levels of activity, impacting Earth in various ways.

How to See Sunspots with Your Own Eyes

The sun is experiencing heightened solar activity, resulting in more frequent solar storms and prominent sunspots.

The Threat of a Solar Superstorm Is GrowingAnd We're Not Ready

The sun is entering a period of increased magnetic activity with more sunspots and storms, potentially posing more danger to Earth.

Huge sunspot is pointing 'almost directly' at Earth

Sunspots release charged particles towards Earth
Solar flares from sunspots can affect power grids and spacecraft

The Northern Lights Could Be Visible Across the US Thanks to a Rare Solar Storm

Solar storm from three CMEs could bring stunning auroras across the US

The Sun Is Experiencing a 'Potentially Historic' Eruption - With Possible Serious Consequences for Earth

Charged particles from the Sun may cause geomagnetic storm with potential disruptions and auroras on Earth.

NOAA Issues First Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch Since 2005

Solar flare on May 8, 2024 triggered a severe geomagnetic storm expected to last throughout the weekend.

Earth is set for TWO solar storms that could cause radio blackouts

The sun released two flares since Sunday and both are set to impact Earth
A physicist told DailyMail.com that there is a 75% chance of radio blackouts
The expert is predicting the disturbances will be felt south of the equator

Earth will be bombarded by intense solar storms next YEAR

A new study reveals that the next solar maximum is expected to occur in early 2024, earlier than previously predicted.
Solar storms caused by the solar maximum can potentially damage satellites and disrupt the internet.
The intensity and consequences of solar storms cannot be predicted this early, but they can lead to catastrophic orbital decay and disruption of satellite-based services.

'Sunspot archipelago' 15 times wider than Earth is spotted on the sun

Sunspots on the sun's surface can appear like an 'archipelago' or a collection of islands.
Sunspots can release charged particles that can impact Earth's magnetic field and pose a danger to power grids and satellites.
