A NASA satellite recorded strong solar flares on Tuesday. The images are fascinating.
These are extraordinary images that a satellite on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory mission took this week. They show how a coronal mass ejection occurs. That’s what solar flares are called in technical jargon. The sun launches plasma into space. This consists of charged particles moving through space at unimaginable speeds – several million kilometers per hour are possible.

These geomagnetic storms can hit Earth in just 12 to 18 hours. However, the radiation emitted in the process does not represent a danger to human beings, as it is blocked by the Earth’s atmosphere, as announced by the US space agency. This can lead to the Northern Lights, but also disruptions to navigation systems and power grids.

This is because particles from the sun affect the ionosphere, which is part of the Earth’s atmosphere. As radio waves use this ionosphere as a kind of mirror, reflecting signals back to Earth, communication systems can be disrupted. When particularly strong solar storms hit Earth, the navigation of ships and small planes that rely on GPS can be affected.
With artificial intelligence against solar storms
In extreme cases, solar storms even lead to blackouts on Earth. Because charged particles can induce very strong currents in power lines. The result is that transformers are disrupted and power fails. Northern Europe, Canada and Russia are the most affected by these consequences.

The DAGGER model is an AI computer model that can track and predict solar activity. DAGGER can predict the arrival of a solar flare less than a second before it hits our planet, giving us 30 minutes of notice to shut down systems or relocate satellites – watch the video to find out more.
