NASA's PUNCH mission achieves breakthrough in solar storm prediction accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

NASA's PUNCH mission has demonstrated a significant improvement in predicting the arrival of solar storms on Earth. By continuously imaging coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun, the PUNCH satellites provide data that allows for more accurate forecasting. This new capability has shown an accuracy within half an hour, a substantial leap from previous methods with a five-hour error margin, potentially mitigating the impact of solar storms on power grids, satellites, and internet connectivity.
