spaceflight, 2 months ago 📆 20 February 2024 #SpaceWeather can create significant disruption to human technology both in #space 🌌 and on #Earth 🌍, including loss of #satellites 🛰️, damage to #power ⚡ grids and #communication 📶 blackouts. The majority of severe #geomagnetic storms at Earth are driven by coronal mass ejections. The current #forecasting 🔮 models have large uncertainties in arrival time ⌚, and struggle to predict the #severity of the event. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023SW003628 #SolarOrbiter #ESA #HELIO4CAST #SECCHI
