So, according to astronomers, when organizing the construction of a lunar base, it is necessary to take into account the periods of the solar cycle, which will make it possible to correctly plan the arrival of astronauts on the moon. They explained that within the 11-year cycle, there are strong bursts of solar activity that can negatively affect a person.
They noted that the start of a new solar cycle took place last fall. At the same time, the maximum activity of the Sun will give out in the summer of 2025.
“Based on this data, the Sun is likely to be more stable in the first half of this decade than in the second. This is especially worth considering for space agencies that are planning a mission to the moon. If you want to protect the health of astronauts, you should pay close attention to the analysis of weather in space ”, The researchers warned.
