The Sun's activity typically peaks at solar maximum, but there's an even more dangerous stage it could enter, and with potentially dire consequences.

According to NASA, the solar cycle transitions between low and high magnetic activity and, roughly every 11 years, the Sun transitions from a calm to an active and stormy state. NASA tracks sunspots ...
