WASHINGTON: Plans for an early-warning system that will give us a 24-hour window before solar storms affect the Earth have been revealed by NASA.
Neel Savani, the NASA researcher who developed the device, said: “As we become more entwined with technology, disruption from large space weather events affects our daily lives more and more. Breaking through that 24-hour barrier to prediction is crucial for dealing efficiently with any potential problems before they arise.”
Savani’s measurement and modelling tool closely observes the places where coronal mass ejections (CMEs) begin from on the Sun. It also uses a number of different observatories for tracking and modeling the evolution of the CME.
