How the Sun goes to 'sleep' could reveal future space weather when it wakes
Scientists have developed a new way to predict the strength of the Sun's next activity cycle up to seven years before it reaches its peak. The new method uses the number of sunspots at a newly-identified 'switch-off' point in the solar cycle, when the Sun's most extreme space weather suddenly comes to an end. Using this approach, researchers have made an early prediction for the strength of Solar Cycle 26. A very early prediction shows a moderate Cycle 26 with a sunspot number of around 100-120, similar to or weaker than the current Cycle 25. However, exact predictions won't be possible for another two years, and a weaker or stronger cycle are both still theoretically possible. The research is being presented this week at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Birmingham.
