The period of peak solar activity in 2025 has been named
Astronomer Bogachev Allows Maximum Solar Activity in Summer 2025
Head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Bogachev admitted that the maximum activity of the Sun in the current cycle will be observed in the summer of 2025. At the same time, he told RIA Novosti that it will not be possible to predict the exact dates of record flares and magnetic storms.
"The year 2025, according to model calculations, is the most likely year of maximum solar activity. There are different scenarios, but most of them point to spring-summer of next year as the time of the expected peak," the expert noted.
Bogachev added that it is impossible to predict the "schedule" of flares and storms. This is due to the fact that active centers on the Sun usually live no more than 2-4 weeks. Thus, those groups of spots that will determine the activity of the next year have not even been born yet, the specialist explained.
Earlier, scientists registered the highest class X flare on the Sun. It occurred on the night of Friday, November 1, at 00:17 Moscow time, in the sunspot group 3878 (N17E29). The flare lasted 27 minutes.
