NASA will employ Artificial Intelligence model DAGGER to help protect Earth
Solar storms, that occur due to eruptions and other activities on the Sun can have a negative impact on the Earth. NASA utilizes artificial intelligence to identify the storms before they occur.
The Sun is continuously releasing charged matter into space, at times in a steady stream referred to in the “Solar wind” as well as in shorter, more powerful explosions that are caused by solar flares. When these particles enter the Earth’s magnetic field (“magnetosphere”) in the magnetosphere, they may cause geomagnetic storms. The consequences of these storms be mild or extreme and in a society that is more technologically dependent, the impacts can be catastrophic.
The most powerful solar storm to occur hit Earth on the night of 1859. It was the Solar Storm of 1859, also called Carrington Event, was the largest solar storm to ever occur. Carrington Event, brought down the entire European and North American telegraph system. The auroras/auroras that were visible in many regions of the globe had such a bright glow that it was possible to read newspapers even at night. If a Carrington-like event occurs in the near future, it could cripple many technological advancements including power grids, to satellites, and may even cause global communication to a standstill. In fact, such massive storms could also damage the computer hardware, including RAM or SSD.

A new model created by NASA utilizes artificial intelligence to analyse spacecraft measurements of the solar wind . It will also forecast the exact location of an coming Solar storm could strike anyplace on Earth with a 30 minute advance warning. This will give enough time to plan for storms, and also prevent major negative effects on power grids as well as other vital infrastructures.
Solar storm is forecast 30 minutes in advance
The Sun is continuously releasing charged matter into space, as a continuous stream referred to as the “Solar wind” as well as in smaller, more intense flashes of solar flares. When these particles strike the Earth’s magnetic field (“magnetosphere”) in the magnetosphere, they may cause geomagnetic storms. The consequences of these storms be mild or extreme however, in a world that is more technologically dependent, the impact can be catastrophic.

If a Carrington-sized storm occurs in the near future, it could cripple many technological advancements such as power grids to satellites and even cause global communication to a standstill. In reality, these massive storms can also damage the computer hardware, including memory and SSD.

According to NASA the danger of geomagnetic storms as well as their devastating impact on society increase as the Sun is getting closer to it’s final “solar maximal” in its 11-year cycle of activity which is predicted to be reached 2025. To mitigate these impacts an international research group working with Frontier Development Lab Frontier Development Lab created a model that relies on AI. (AI).
Solar storm is forecast 30 minutes in advance
On the basis of this the DAGGER (Deep learning Geomagnetic Perturbation) was created, which can accurately and quickly predict earth-wide geomagnetic disturbances for 30 minutes prior to when they happen. According to the researchers the model is capable of generating prediction in just one second. The predictions are updated every minute.
The DAGGER team conducted tests on the model against two geomagnetic storms which occurred in the months of August as well as March of 2015. In both instances, DAGGER was able to quickly and accurately forecast the effects of the storm across the globe. The models that forecasted the storm previously used artificial intelligence to produce local geomagnetic forecasts that are specific to areas on Earth. While we wait, let’s emphasize that the model is open-source and businesses can utilize DAGGER to safeguard themselves. Let’s also say that solar storms could cause disruption to power grids, satellite systems, and other technical infrastructures.
