- NASA's COFFIES project uses machine learning to detect storm-causing active regions on the Sun before they are visually apparent, per NASA Science
- The AI system can predict solar storms approximately 12 hours before they appear, with applications for improving space weather forecasts
Why it matters: A 12-hour early warning on solar storms gives satellite operators, grid managers, and airlines a concrete lead time to safeguard equipment and reroute flights, directly translating NASA's AI capability into operational space-weather planning.
