An AI model trained on years of data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory can predict the sun’s future appearance and potentially flag dangerous solar flares

Surya, an AI model developed by NASA and IBM, tries to find hidden patterns in solar data to detect solar flares and winds.

Earlier this year, local and national officials gathered for a first-of-its-kind tabletop exercise to test their readiness for a severe solar storm. The simulation exposed major gaps in scientists’ ability to forecast space weather, which threatens critical infrastructure on Earth and in orbit.

The space rock will make its closest approach—at a cosmically slight 183,000 miles from our planet—later today, according to the space agency.

NASA and Google’s work involves a proof-of-concept for an automated Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) known as the “Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant” (CMO-DA). “Designed to assist astronauts with medical help during extended space missions, this multi-modal interface leverages AI,” Google said in an online post.

The U.S. wants to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, but the first challenge is finding an ideal spot.

NASA’s Artemis campaign is a bold series of missions to take humans back to the moon, and those astronauts will get there thanks to help from rocket engines mad

"NASA Response Mappers is a great opportunity to take action and support emergency response efforts before a storm even strikes," Rebecca Lewis, co-director of the GLOBE Implementation Office, told ABC News. "NASA provides crucial data to emergency responders during disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, and fires."
