New study: Saturn's magnetosphere tip is shifted past noon due to its rapid rotation

  • One response
Analysis of Cassini data shows that Saturn's magnetosphere does not behave like Earth's. Instead of remaining near local noon, the tip of the magnetosphere is shifted to the after noon hours, a result that could change

Artificial Intelligence for Solar Wind Forecasting: New Model Improves Space Weather Warnings

  • No comments
Researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi trained an artificial intelligence model on ultraviolet images from NASA's Solar Observatory and were able to predict solar wind speeds up to four days in advance – with an accuracy that is dozens of times higher.
