Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that can detect the early warning signs of solar eruptions nearly nine hours before they become visible to us. Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology created the model to spot faint signals hidden in active regions of the Sun — the precursors to potentially dangerous solar storms.

This breakthrough could give us crucial extra time to prepare for space weather events that can disrupt power grids, satellites, and communications systems. By identifying these subtle warning signs long before dark sunspots appear on the Sun's surface, the AI acts as an early warning system for events that can impact technology we rely on daily.
