Increased Solar Activity Raises Concerns of Disruptions on Earth

Increased Solar Activity , Raises Concerns , of Disruptions on Earth.
'Newsweek' reports that , solar activity has increased faster, in 2022 than forecasts had predicted.
Now, experts warn of a stronger solar cycle , than in previous years, which could have, dire consequences here on Earth.

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, stellar eruptions of radiation and particles, can cause massive disruptions to electrical systems.

The sun follows a roughly 11-year
solar cycle in which the star goes from a period
of low activity to a period of high activity. .
'Newsweek' reports that the sun is currently
in its 25th cycle, which means solar activity
is expected to increase for a few more years. .
However, the U.S. National Oceanic and Space Administration's
Space Weather Prediction Center warns that the current
cycle is already much stronger than predicted. .
The predictions are based on the last cycle
or two, which had unusually low activity
and long solar minima, so this may be a sign
that the Sun is waking up, becoming more
active again—part of the normal
variation in solar activity, Andrew Coates, professor of physics
at University College London's Mullard Space
Science Laboratory, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that our modern reliance
on technology increases the potential
impact of increased stellar activity. .
It is expected that the solar cycle
that is coming now is going to be
a stronger solar cycle, so you have
more and more solar activity. , Robert von Fay-Siebenburgen, professor of mathematics and a space plasma researcher at the University of Sheffield, via 'Newsweek'.
I think we really should be careful
and prepare ourselves for the next solar
cycle because I think the more we rely
on technology the more vulnerable
we are to these sunspots, Robert von Fay-Siebenburgen, professor of mathematics and a space plasma researcher at the University of Sheffield, via 'Newsweek'
