Solar Imaging Is Complicated, But AI Is Helping

NASA scientists are using artificial intelligence to calibrate photographs of the Sun to improve data for solar studies. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been providing high-definition photos of the Sun for nearly a decade since its launch on February 11, 2010. The photos have offered an in-depth examination of a variety of solar phenomena. SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) observes the Sun continuously and generates a lot of data about our Sun that has never been possible before. AIA degrades over time as a result of continual looking, and the data must be calibrated frequently.
