Latest Space Breaking News: NASA analysis shows sun's activity ramping up

Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-09-nasa-analysis-sun-ramping.html

Summary: The sun has become increasingly active since 2008, a new NASA study shows. Solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case in point: Since the 1980s, the amount of solar activity had been steadily decreasing all the way up to 2008, when solar activity was the weakest on record. At that point, scientists expected the sun to be entering a period of historically low activity.
