Solar activity hots up

Scientists have announced the start of a new solar cycle.

The theory goes that solar activity waxes and wanes in 11-year cycles. Recently we've been at the end of a cycle, in a period with a comparative lack of solar activity. The start of a new cycle means that the frequency of solar storms and other activity is likely to increase, with the cycle expected to reach its peak around 2012.
