A rare 'severe' solar storm warning has been issued due to a coronal mass ejection from the Sun, expected to impact Earth on June 1, potentially causing widespread disruptions to internet, phone signals, power grids, and possibly creating visible auroras in parts of the US. The impact depends on the storm's strength and orientation, with authorities monitoring the situation closely.
A new AI-powered computer model called DAGGER can predict when and where solar storms will strike Earth, giving us time to prepare infrastructure that could be impacted, such as the power grid. DAGGER has studied NASA data to find connections between solar activity and damaging geomagnetic activity through a process called deep learning. DAGGER can currently predict a geomagnetic disturbance 30 minutes before the event, its developers say.
