NASA To Use AI For Combating Solar Storm Terror
Solar storms result from the huge bursts of energy in the form of solar flares and coronal mass ejections, emitted by the Sun.
When these solar materials strike Earth's magnetic environment, it creates geomagnetic storms. In our increasingly technology-dependent world, such storms have a very disruptive effect.
Scientists predict an increase in solar storms because the Sun is approaching a peak of activity that occurs every 11 years and is expected to occur in 2025.
According to NASA, the new model employs AI to analyse spacecraft measurements of solar wind and predict where an impending solar storm will strike on Earth, with a 30 minutes advance notice.
