New NASA findings indicate that potentially dangerous solar storm activity has been ramping up over the last two decades, suggesting a longer-term deviation beyond the known 11-year solar cycles.
Before 2008, data collected since the 1980s indicated a notable lull in solar activity, which has since reversed itself. Solar flares, solar storms, and coronal mass ejections are examples of the types of increasing disturbances that could have detrimental effects for us on Earth.
Now, a new paper presented in The Astrophysical Journal Letters finds that these events are occurring with increased frequency.
