New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) researchers are developing new ways to predict when the powerful magnetic energy from Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) will reach Earth. The team is developing AI-powered space weather forecasting capabilities that could offer Solar researchers a new window into the complex magnetic processes in regions of the Sun's atmosphere that trigger such eruptions, and to this point, have rarely been observed. According to the researchers, the new AI-powered forecasting system could boost early-warning detection of these eruptive events on Earth by days, while offering vital insights to the space weather science community as activity on our nearest star ramps up over the course of the current 11-year Solar cycle, which began in 2019.
