- Massive sunspot glares at the Earth Fri, 24 Jun 22, 5:52amA huge sunspot has been seen within firing rage of the earth. It's reported to have grown double in size in just under 24 hours, and is as large as three times the size of the Earth, according to experts. The size is sparking...
- X-Class Solar Flare Sun, 1 May 22, 7:00amEven though the responsible sunspot was located behind the edge of the sun, enough radiation reached our planet to cause a strong shortwave radio blackout.
- Two weeks in the life of a sunspot Sun, 6 Aug 17, 10:00pmPublic Release: 4-Aug-2017 From Eurekalert NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center VIDEO: On July 5, 2017, the Solar Dynamics Observatory watched an active region — an area of intense and complex...
- Study predicts the sun is headed for a Dalton-like solar minimum around 2050 Tue, 3 Dec 13, 11:30amMethod uses the Ap geomagnetic index, which has been in a slump since October 2005: The Hockey Schtick tips us to a paper published today in Advances in Space Research predicts that if the current lull in solar activity “endures...
- Sunspot group AR1890 takes direct aim at earth Fri, 8 Nov 13, 12:38pmMay produce a dangerous X-class flare that could directly impact Earth Steve Davidson writes: Right now, today, one of the largest sunspot groups of Cycle 24 – AR1890 – is pointing nearly strait at Earth...
- October 2013 Sunspots: Largest jump in Solar cycle 24 so far Tue, 5 Nov 13, 2:04amLooks like a double peak for cycle 24 is forming As many WUWT readers have noted in comments, October 2013 has been significantly more active than the previous several months, and we have not seen this level of activity since...
- October 2013 Sunsots: Largest jump in Solar cycle 24 so far Tue, 5 Nov 13, 2:04amLooks like a double peak for cycle 24 is forming As many WUWT readers have noted in comments, October 2013 has been significantly more active than the previous several months, and we have not seen this level of activity since...
- Like ‘the pause’ in surface temperatures, ‘the slump’ in solar activity continues Fri, 13 Sep 13, 10:33pmThe NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has updated their monthly graph set and it is becoming even more clear that we are past solar max, and that solar max has been a dud...
- Solar cycle 24 continues the slump Tue, 13 Aug 13, 5:01pmSunspot count is virtually unchanged from last month : It seems possible that we’ve seen the double peak, and it will be downhill after this. A similar status quo in radio flux – little change from last month....
- The solar cycle is still slumping Thu, 11 Jul 13, 5:01pmIt is looking more and more like a double sunspot peak for solar cycle 24. Sunspot count is down again: A similar drop occurred in radio flux. The Ap magnetic index remains low, but is up 3 units from last … Continue...
- Sun produces four X-class flares in two days Wed, 15 May 13, 9:30pmAbove: note the four separate events in the last two days – from the WUWT Solar Page (From NASA’s Spaceweather.com) When the week began, the sun hadn’t unleashed an X-flare all year long. In only two days,...
- Solar cycle update – sun’s magnetic activity still in a slump Wed, 8 May 13, 4:30amDespite some small upticks on sunspot and 10.7cm radio activity, the magentic activity of the sun is still bumping along the bottom. A slight uptick was seen in sunspot count. A similar slight uptick occurred in radio flux....
- December solar activity in a big slump Wed, 9 Jan 13, 10:26pmThe December data from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is in, and it looks more and more like the peak of solar cycle 24 has been reached, and that we are now past it...
- Solar cycle 24 continues weakly, perhaps weakest of the space-age Wed, 7 Nov 12, 5:27amNOAA SWPC has updated their plot page of solar metrics, and the slump continues. At spaceweather.com Dr. Tony Phillips writes: SO THIS IS SOLAR MAXIMUM? Forecasters have long expected the Solar Max of 2013 to be the weakest...
- The sun – still slumping Tue, 4 Sep 12, 12:20amThe latest solar cycle update graphs have been released by the NOAA SWPC today, and the anemic cycle 24 continues: The current count isn’t keeping up with the prediction line in red...
