Another super total solar eclipse? Expert: 25 is the key point.

The sun has been in a very active state, and now the next solar cycle is coming. Experts predict that the peak of activities will appear in 2025. This cycle time is expected to be very close to the total solar eclipse in North America in April 2024. When the moon blocks the sun, people walking on the road will be able to see the delicate and transparent halo of the upper atmosphere or corona of the sun, which will be the moment when human beings are very close to the sun.

Although solar experts believe that the next cycle has begun, the debate about its possible intensity continues. In September 2020, the solar cycle prediction team announced that the 25th cycle had begun. They also believe that this will be a moderate cycle. However, other solar cycle experts have come to a completely different conclusion: the 25th cycle may be the strongest cycle recorded since 1755.

Strong solar activity may bring trouble to the earth. Sunspots can cause large-scale solar flares, which sometimes throw radiation and charged particles into space.

The most famous of these storms occurred in the solar cycle 1859. The "Carrington incident" that disturbed electronic equipment lit up the sky with aurora and could be seen as far south as the Caribbean. Today, such a large-scale storm will be devastating. It may collapse the power grid, shoot down satellites, endanger astronauts in orbit and change the planned flight route.

The influence of solar activity on the earth is called space storm. Scientists have been trying to predict when the sun will become dangerous for years. Accurate solar storm forecast means that we can protect fragile infrastructure as early as possible, which is the same as weather forecast.

On April 8, 2024, the moon will be located between the earth and the sun and completely cover the earth. For nearly four and a half minutes, the total solar eclipse can be seen from Texas to Maine.

When the total solar eclipse is the lowest, the characteristics such as bands can be seen near the equator of the sun, and there may be several small flares flashing near the edge of the moon. However, when the sun is the largest, the corona will be the most spectacular.

These streamers and other glare of the sun are not visible until the moon completely covers the sun. This is the only time it is safe to stare at the earth with the naked eye. When the moon moves on the disk of the sun, the shadow of the crescent moon rises and falls on the sidewalk, and the twilight gradually deepens, which is creepy.
