Cosmic rays decreasing as Solar Cycle 25 gains strength

Cosmic rays decreasing as Solar Cycle 25 gains strength

New data provided by the students of Earth to Sky Calculus and Dr. Tony Phillips of SpaceWeather.com show that cosmic radiation levels in the Earth's atmosphere are decreasing as the new solar cycle — Solar Cycle 25 — gains strength. The plot below shows…

New observations of coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays

New observations of coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays

Scientists have released new observations of solar activities, such as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and cosmic rays, gathered by the Global Muon Detector Network (GMDN) at the Syowa Station in the Antarctic. The team found that high-speed solar wind causes the…

Deep-space radiation reaching a percentage point of Space Age maximum

Deep-space radiation reaching a percentage point of Space Age maximum

Solar activity is at very low levels and the visible disk remains spotless for the 17th day in a row, making a total of 33 days in 2020 or 66 percent — we are still in a Solar Minimum, which is expected to end sometime this year. As a result of weakened Sun's…

Unsettled geomagnetic field due to CH HSS influences

Unsettled geomagnetic field due to CH HSS influences

Solar wind parameters in 24 hours ending 12:30 UTC today were indicative of a slightly enhanced and disturbed interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) due to weak coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influences. Total IMF strength was variable, but steadily increased…

Cosmic rays in Earth’s atmosphere intensifying for the fourth year in a row

Cosmic rays in Earth’s atmosphere intensifying for the fourth year in a row

Cosmic rays in Earth's atmosphere are intensifying for the 4th year in a row as the 11-year solar cycle plunges into one of the deepest minima of the Space Age. The finding comes from a campaign of almost weekly high-altitude balloon launches conducted by the…

Energy from Space – The Shift Has Begun

Energy from Space – The Shift Has Begun

Earth and Sun's fields are weakening and we're exiting the magnetic dust cloud. At the same time, our three shields against energy from space are disappearing, we are showing increased vulnerability to space weather from our sun, and cosmic rays are already…
