Increased Solar Activity , Raises Concerns , of Disruptions on Earth.<br />'Newsweek' reports that , solar activity has increased faster, in 2022 than forecasts had predicted.<br />Now, experts warn of a stronger solar cycle , than in previous years, which could have, dire consequences here on Earth.<br />Now, experts warn of a stronger solar cycle , than in previous years, which could have, dire consequences here on Earth.<br />Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, stellar eruptions of radiation and particles, can cause massive disruptions to electrical systems.<br />Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, stellar eruptions of radiation and particles, can cause massive disruptions to electrical systems.<br />The sun follows a roughly 11-year <br />solar cycle in which the star goes from a period <br />of low activity to a period of high activity. .<br />'Newsweek' reports that the sun is currently<br />in its 25th cycle, which means solar activity<br />is expected to increase for a few more years. .<br />However, the U.S. National Oceanic and Space Administration's <br />Space Weather Prediction Center warns that the current <br />cycle is already much stronger than predicted. .<br />The predictions are based on the last cycle <br />or two, which had unusually low activity <br />and long solar minima, so this may be a sign <br />that the Sun is waking up, becoming more <br />active again—part of the normal <br />variation in solar activity, Andrew Coates, professor of physics <br />at University College London's Mullard Space <br />Science Laboratory, via 'Newsweek'.<br />'Newsweek' reports that our modern reliance <br />on technology increases the potential <br />impact of increased stellar activity. .<br />It is expected that the solar cycle <br />that is coming now is going to be <br />a stronger solar cycle, so you have <br />more and more solar activity. , Robert von Fay-Siebenburgen, professor of mathematics and a space plasma researcher at the University of Sheffield, via 'Newsweek'.<br />I think we really should be careful <br />and prepare ourselves for the next solar <br />cycle because I think the more we rely <br />on technology the more vulnerable <br />we are to these sunspots, Robert von Fay-Siebenburgen, professor of mathematics and a space plasma researcher at the University of Sheffield, via 'Newsweek'
