Why has the Sun gone quiet?

Strange behavior may hide deeper meanings within our star.

By Bruce Dorminey | Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2019

The Sun is supposed to follow 11-year cycles of minimum and maximum activity that should trace set patterns pretty much like clockwork, give or take weaker and stronger sunspot patterns, flares, and periods of coronal mass ejections. But solar cycle 24, which began in 2008, and the predictions for cycle 25, which will commence in 2020, take the cake for anomalous behavior.

The sunspot maximum of cycle 24, which began almost a year late, looks to be the smallest in 100 years and the third in a trend of diminishing activity within sunspot cycles. So, cycle 25 likely could be smaller than cycle 24.

Our Sun is going quiet.
