SpaceWeather focus continues with the GOES-R Series SUVI instrument! It compiles full-disk solar images for constant monitoring of potentially hazardous solar phenomena, like this X1 solar flare on Oct. 28, 2021, via GOESEast. ReadytoGOES Read more:
—are localized, explosive outbursts on the Sun, and can generate intense radiation in the form of X-rays and energetic particles that can sometimes affect Earth. Because this radiation often travels at or near the speed of light, it can reach the Earth within about 8 minutes.
We can see manifestations of the Sun's magnetic field in the form of active regions, which appear at the Sun’s surface as cooler, dark areas, and in SUVI observations of the Sun’s corona as bright concentrations of loops. Active regions mark areas where magnetism is the strongest. Strong solar flares are powered by the energy stored in the magnetic fields of these active regions.
Researchers determined that the solar minimum occurred in Dec. of 2019, meaning the Sun’s activity is beginning to ramp up and should peak around 2025, increasing the chance for stronger solar storms in the coming years. Afterward, geomagnetic activity will begin to decrease again and a new cycle will begin.
