Predictions for Solar Cycle 25. Blue is the \u201cofficial\u201d prediction of a weak cycle. Red is a new prediction based on the Termination Event.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

Feb. 26, 2022:<\/strong> Something big just happened on the sun. Solar physicists Scott McIntosh (NCAR) and Bob Leamon (U. Maryland-Baltimore County) call it \u201cThe Termination Event.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOld Solar Cycle 24 has finally died\u2013it was terminated!\u201d says McIntosh. \u201cNow the new solar cycle, Solar Cycle 25, can really take off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cTermination Event\u201d is a new idea in solar physics, outlined by McIntosh and Leamon in a December 2020 paper<\/a> in the journal Solar Physics<\/em>. Not everyone accepts it\u2013yet. If Solar Cycle 25 unfolds as McIntosh and Leamon predict, the Termination Event will have to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n
