OH NOES! We’ll all get blown over by the solar winds.
Might that have some influence in Earthly climate change?
How are the leftists going to control The SUN? Install a thermostat or on-off switch on it?
Premature ejection.
Are we still in the beginning or some part at a minimum
bad article because it does NOT happen to mention we are on and have been a BIG solar decline.....instead it emphasizes a small recovery like it’s a big deal....just more fear porn for the uniformed....
Want to learn more so you won’t be fooled? just research solar min/max and how we have been behind for 20+ years....
Don’t worry! The Solar Minimum will be here before the Antarctic melts and the penguins DIE!

The present Solar cycle might end up being the space age’s biggest dud, more likely, quipped Ace Drummer John Boy McClooney upon hearing of the NASA narrative
QUICK!!! Pass a law. Spend some money. Add a regulation. Raise taxes. We must do something, ANYTHING to avoid catastrophic global calamity. Only the government can save us.
I can’t wait for 40m to return to the hey day of the last solar cycle, that was a crap ton of fun.
Please, Lord! Give us a coronal-mass ejection that drops the power grid on the whole sunward side. And drop it in when both the Americas and Western Europe are dead center. Please. This civilization deserves to die. It makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like Mary and Martha.
I didn’t realize the sun followed our calendar
As of yesterday, there had been 5 spotless days. Hardly an indication of a big ramp-up. SC 25 looks to be = SC 24 so far - maybe slightly less active.
P.S. Ever wonder how astronomers counted sunspots 800 years ago?
1. Solar cycle period is inversely proportional to solar cycle amplitude. In other words, on average a short solar cycle will be a weak solar cycle.
2. I don’t have time to find a chart which this writer should have displayed showing that Cycle 24 was a weak cycle, and that Cycle 25 is predicted to be weak as well.
3. Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) drives el ninos roughly every 11 years. Cycle 24 was so weak Pacific circulation has been weak. This caused a weak el nino to happen two years early. It would not surprise me if the weakness of North Pacific circulation is causing the dry pattern in the Northeastern Pacific land mass.
The peak nights for the Perseids show promise, the Moon shouldn’t be a factor. Let’s hope it’s clear in our respective locations.
Maybe we’ll even have some nice auroras, considering the heightened solar activitie.
