Our sun has officially hit its solar maximum, with increased rates of auroras and solar flares expected in the coming months, NASA has announced.
The sun goes through 11-year cycles of activity, fluctuating between its solar minimum and solar maximum, where it has a large number of sunspots and is more prone to powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
