We've touched on the hazards of solar storms plenty of times in the past.
data to develop an early warning system that they think could give the planet about 30 minutes' notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a particular area.
Scientists have long been aware of the problem and haven't sat idly by. At this point in our species' exploration of the Solar System, plenty of satellites are looking at the Sun that can be used to identify these solar outbursts. Knowing simply that a solar storm is on its way is only one part of the battle – you also have to know what kind of impact it will have on the Earth when it hits there. So the researchers also collected data from surface-based stations that were also affected by some storms that the satellites detected.
Previous attempts by earlier algorithms would take orders of magnitude longer – almost to the point where they would give hardly any warning time before a storm hit the Earth.
