IBM and NASA made an open-source AI model for predicting solar weather
Surya is an "AI telescope for the Sun," and using data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, can predict what our star will look like up to two hours in advance.
The episode highlighted the value of proper preparation against geomagnetic storms, and for the past couple of years, NASA and IBM have been working to give the scientific community and others a better way to predict solar weather. Two hours might not seem like a lot, but according to Bernabe-Moreno, who previously worked at one of Europe's largest energy companies, it could be a game changer for infrastructure providers, which have spent the last few decades building more responsive power grids.
