    That’s incredible. Thanks to a project at work, I’ve learned that the sun’s solar cycle will peak in July 2025, leading to a maximum of solar activity and coronal mass ejections that will last for the next 3 years. Will we see a Carrington-level event? Probably not, but I bet you’ll have even more opportunities to capture incredible shots like these!
