Even though the sun's current solar cycle hasn't reached its peak yet, scientists have seen signs that the next 11-year solar cycle is already getting ready for its time to shine.

Despite only being halfway through our current solar cycle, the sun is showing signs of starting another. The sun is approaching the solar maximum of its current 11-year solar cycle, meaning that ...

A coronal hole, visible in the images as the dark patch stretching across the surface, is a region of the Sun’s atmosphere – ...

After solar maximum, during the declining phase of the solar cycle, the "light side" and "dark side" of solar activity overlap in time. This makes the space weather environment rather messy.

Indeed, the solar cycle is an indication of when the Sun, which is a giant magnet, flips its polarity. In its quieter phases, the Sun is a well-behaved dipole — that is, a magnet with a positive ...

No, you're not imagining it — your skin looks more glowing and your face more symmetrical during the follicular phase of your menstrual cycle. This phase begins right after your period ends and ...

Higher solar activity brings more radiation, which can damage satellite electronics and force some satellites to deorbit ...
