IBM and NASA launch Surya AI model to forecast solar storms and safeguard technology
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 21, 2025 IBM and NASA have introduced Surya, an open-source foundation model designed to interpret high resolution solar data and improve space weather forecasting. The system, trained on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory images, offers a new capability for predicting how solar activity impacts satellites, power grids, communications, and navigation systems. The Sun, though 93 million miles away, has a direct influence on modern life. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can disable satellites, disrupt ... read more |

Proba-3 reveals breakthrough images of the solar corona from space
Paris, France (SPX) Jun 17, 2025 Proba-3, the European Space Agency's dual-satellite mission, has achieved a historic milestone by capturing its first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere during an artificial solar eclipse in orbit. Using advanced formation flying, the mission's two spacecraft aligned with millimeter-level precision to simulate a total eclipse, enabling high-resolution observations of the elusive solar corona. In March, the Coronagraph and Occulter spacecraft successfully flew 150 meters apart, holding their posi ... read more
