The Sun is reaching its maximum activity, as demonstrated by optical images taken from space.
Oku.AzThis conclusion was reached by scientists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Russian Space Research Institute and the Institute of Solar-Earth Physics, according to KP.ru.
“The sunspot groups that have formed in the last two weeks are forming near the Sun’s equator, which is one of the main signs that solar activity is near the peak of the solar cycle,” the agency said in a statement.
According to scientists, at the beginning of the cycle, sunspot groups and strong solar flares concentrate at latitudes 30 to 45 degrees north and south of the equator, and then move to lower latitudes.
“With a general increase in the number of explosions, as well as a sharp increase in solar background radiation, it is likely that we are seeing the peak of the cycle, which may occur in the next 2 or 3 months, or it may happen now,” they stressed. the experts.
