Our constantly-changing sun sometimes erupts with bursts of light, solar material, or ultra-fast energized particles — collectively,
these events contribute to space weather. In a study published Jan. 30, 2017, in Space Weather, scientists from NASA and the National
Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, in Boulder, Colorado, have shown that the warning signs of one type of space weather event
can be detected tens of minutes earlier than with current forecasting techniques – critical extra time that could help protect
astronauts in space.
