The solar cycle is the natural cycle of the Sun as it transitions between low and high activity. During the most active part of the cycle, known as solar maximum, the Sun can unleash immense explosions of light, energy and solar radiation - all of which create conditions known as space weather. The Solar Maximum period for cycle 25 has finally happened. Discover why the Sun's reverse polarity takes time. Find out how solar cycle 25 compares with other solar maximums in Shetland since 1947. Explore which months major auroras were visible in Shetland, and how STEVE and SAR arcs are linked to strong geomagnetic storms. Find out why this is important, how it happens, explore the build-up, and see captivating aurora photographs. Understand how to photograph and video the beauty of the Mirrie Dancers linked to the captivating Shetland landscape and how the aurora has inspired Shetland fiddle music and artists young and old.
