Maximum of solar activity in 2013 is expected to be the weakest


Maximum activity this year is likely to be the weakest in at least the last 100 years, according to NASA scientists observing the nearest star to the Earth every day.

The number of sunspots is low, despite the fact that the sun is close to the maximum of its 11-year activity cycle. Furthermore, the intensity of radio waves, usually pointing to the high solar activity, also significantly reduced.
