Scientists Warn The Sun Could Be About To Produce A ‘Superflare’
Scientists have developed a new probabilistic forecasting system for extreme solar flares, known as "S-class" superflares, which are capable of causing widespread technological disruptions. This system, utilizing machine learning and analysis of historical solar activity, identifies specific time windows and regions on the sun where these powerful eruptions are more likely to occur. The research suggests a heightened risk for such an event between mid-2025 and mid-2026, potentially providing one to two years of advance warning for space weather operators. AI
