It's Official: NASA Declares The Solar Maximum Is Happening Now
2 days ago — Solar minimum is when sunspots are at their fewest. Solar maximum is when sunspots speckle the surface like freckles across a sunkissed nose. And with them come huge solar outbursts. When the tangled magnetic field lines in sunspots snap and reconnect, they erupt in powerful bursts of light and energy; those are solar flares.
