Solar storm warning: NASA turns to AI for help

[ad_1] NASA's AI-enabled predictions can offer advance notice for solar storms, providing crucial preparation time to protect power grids and crucial infrastructure. The AI model can forecast the location of an upcoming solar storm with a 30-minute lead time by examining spacecraft data of the solar wind.Solar storms are intense disturbances caused by the sudden release of energy from the Sun. These storms have a significant impact on Earth's space environment, disrupting satellite communication, power grids, and navigation systems. Now, NASA has leveraged the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve our understanding and forecast of solar storms. Understanding Solar Storms and their impactThe Sun constantly emits solar material, which includes a steady stream known as "solar wi...
