Israeli space weather researchers report theyveused AI to predict the suns radiation outbreaksup to 96 hours before they occurred.
Storm Watchers
Scientists have spent decades trying to predict damaging solar storms more accurately.
The technique uses deep learning, a jot down of AI, to scrutinize X-ray measurements from satellites.

Just what such a storm could mean on earth is still open to debate.
Scientists recently held a workshop to determine how a big solar storm might affect the power grid.
The participants used a table-top exercise and simulation to reveal research and development gaps for the Sun-to-power grid system.

“Space weather is about societal resilience, multiphysics, and multiscale.
The probability that a very severe storm will occur is about 10 percent per decade.
In February,SpaceX lost 40 Starlink satelliteswhen they were launched into a geomagnetic storm.

The worst solar storm on record is theCarrington event of 1859, Mehta said.
The next big storm could arrive sooner rather than later.
