NASA Detects Unusual Surge in Solar Activity — Beyond the Normal Cycle ☀️ NASA scientists have reported that the Sun’s activity is increasing in a way that defies its usual patterns. Ordinarily, the Sun follows an 11-year solar cycle, transitioning from quiet phases (solar minimum) to energetic peaks (solar maximum) before calming again. These cycles are measured through sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, recent data suggests that since around 2008, the Sun’s beh

🌬️ Solar Storm Update – May 19⁠ ⁠ Earth is still feeling the effects of a high-speed solar wind stream (CH HSS) today! 💨⁠ Winds peaked at 750–800 km/s (that's over 1 million mph), triggering a G1 geomagnetic storm and auroras in high latitudes.⁠ ⁠ 📉 Wind speeds are now around 692 km/s but still strong enough to keep stormy conditions going through May 19. Expect calmer conditions by May 20.⁠ ⁠ ☀️ No major solar flares or Earth-directed CMEs were spotted. But one region, AR4087, has a powerful
