Space Weather History Presentation

A graph shows sunspot numbers plotted vertically versus years from 2014 to 2024, listed horizontally. A purple line follows the data and forms a wave shape with one peak around 2014 and another peak appearing to form in late 2024. A red line continues past the plotted data into the future, showing a peak in 2025.
An interactive graph of sunspot numbers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center reveals the up-and-down pattern of sunspot numbers all the way to the beginning of solar cycle 1 in the 1750s.
