IIT Kanpur Research Offers New Way to Forecast Solar Cycles
The Sun’s roughly 11-year magnetic activity cycle drives phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections—events that can interfere with satellites, GPS navigation, radio communication, and even terrestrial power grids. Accurately predicting these cycles has remained difficult because the Sun’s internal magnetic fields lie far beyond the reach of direct observation. A new study by researchers from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur proposes a data-driven solution to this long-standing problem.
