Solar Cycle Prediction (Revised)Posted May 29, 2009An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots. Release: NASA …………………………………………………………………………………………….. Solar Cycle 24 BeginsPosted January 10, 2008“On January 4, 2008, a reversed-polarity sunspot appeared—and this signals the start of Solar Cycle 24,” says David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….. Scientists Predict Big Solar CyclePosted December 21, 2006Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one. Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 “looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago,” says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
