Solar Activity Has Decreased Almost Threefold Since 2024
Solar Activity Has Decreased Almost Threefold Since 2024 According to the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, current indicators point to a rapid decline in solar activity. Compared to 2024, the number of flares and sunspots has dropped by about three times. This suggests that our star is heading toward the next minimum of its 11-year cycle. According to experts’ calculations, the quietest phase can be expected as early as 2029. This forecast is important for planning space missions and satellite communications, as reduced solar radiation directly affects the near-Earth space environment. Russian scientists regularly update monitoring data, confirming the high standard of domestic astrophysics. #Science #Sun The main news of Russia and the world is here.
