Artificial intelligence can forecast damaging solar storms - ISRAEL21c

Israeli space weather researchers report that they used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict powerful radiation outbreaks up to 96 hours before they occurred. Harmful radiation from these eruptions – also known as solar storms -- can have a significant impact on our lives here on Earth. They produce disturbances in atmospheric layers through which communication and GPS signals pass. That leads to disruption of satellite activity, navigation systems, communications and electric grids. Intense radiation bursts also can result in dangerous and costly spacecraft failures.
