After months of intense solar flares, NASA confirms that the Sun has reached the most active period of its cycle.

The Sun has reached the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum, a phase that brings with it heightened solar activity, including powerful geomagnetic storms and increased aurora visibility.

NASA, the NOAA, and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that solar maximum is now underway. What does that mean? Our Sun is reaching the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, a time when sunspots,
