Solar Cycle 25 is here, ushering in the next season of space weather from the Sun. As the Sun’s activity ramps up — a natural part of its roughly 11-year cycle — scientists are eager to test their predictions. In this roundtable, scientists will discuss outstanding questions in solar cycle science, what opportunities this new cycle provides researchers and how they track progress in predictions.
