Predicting solar winds is a critical factor in ensuring the safety of satellites and other technologies used on Earth and in space. Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) capable of predicting the speed of solar winds up to four days in advance. This development represents a significant advance over previous methods, which often offer limited predictive accuracy.
The AI was trained by analyzing high-resolution ultraviolet images of the Sun captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. These images were combined with historical measurements of solar winds to identify patterns that correlate with changes in the solar winds. This method has increased prediction accuracy by 45 percent compared to currently used models and by 20 percent compared to previous AI-based approaches.
The importance of this development is underscored by events such as the loss of 40 Starlink satellites in 2022, caused by a sharp increase in solar wind activity. Such incidents highlight the need for reliable predictions to ensure the safety of satellites and other critical infrastructure. The new AI provides early warning, allowing preventive measures to be taken to minimize damage.
Advances in solar wind prediction are an example of how AI technologies can help solve some of the most persistent challenges in space exploration. By improving forecast accuracy, scientists and engineers can be better prepared for upcoming space weather events, increasing the resilience of critical systems and infrastructure worldwide. This development could also open up new opportunities for collaboration between scientists and industry to improve the safety and efficiency of technologies in space.
