Solar Activity Continues
|
As noted last week, the Sun has really started to come alive in Solar Cycle 25. Starting in the middle of March 2022, a dramatic increase in the number of sunspots, active regions, and flares was observed on the Sun. April 2022 is poised to snatch the short-held title of 'Most Active Month in Solar Cycle 25' from March 2022. With multiple high-level M class and a few X class flares, April has shown what the Sun is capable of when it decides to be more active. As a solar scientist, let's hope that this trend keeps as we go deeper into cycle 25 and we continue to see some spectacular events from our star.
