Reply to NASA-enabled AI model may predict where on Earth an impending solar storm will strike — with 30 minutes of advance warning by marketrent
Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Vanessa Thomas:
>Like a tornado siren for life-threatening storms in America’s heartland, a new computer model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and NASA satellite data could sound the alarm for dangerous space weather.
>The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind (an unrelenting stream of material from the Sun) and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of advance warning.
>This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms and prevent severe impacts on power grids and other critical infrastructure.
>For example, a destructive solar storm in 1989 caused electrical blackouts across Quebec for 12 hours, plunging millions of Canadians into the dark and closing schools and businesses.
>The most intense solar storm on record, the Carrington Event in 1859, sparked fires at telegraph stations and prevented messages from being sent.
>If the Carrington Event happened today, it would have even more severe impacts, such as widespread electrical disruptions, persistent blackouts, and interruptions to global communications. Such technological chaos could cripple economies and endanger the safety and livelihoods of people worldwide.
>In addition, the risk of geomagnetic storms and devastating effects on our society is presently increasing as we approach the next “solar maximum” – a peak in the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle – which is expected to arrive sometime in 2025.

i mean how do people get the sound of other planets like neptune or jupiter
Did you understand?

I tried to be more detailed than the original post title without deviating too much.
What would your suggestion be for a better title?

why is this sub full of click bait titles. Are there even mods?

reception is not congestion, low signal strength has nothing to do with network congestion.

I’m a network engineer that primarily works with Nokia equipment. Where do I sign up to work on the moon?

Can you elaborate? Are you looking for the sound Earth makes? Or like... the sound of nature?

I mean if they pointed the engines right at it and fired them that could probably do it, I probably have aluminum foil that's thicker than the Centaur V's stainless steel tanks.

The original comment was implying that this was caused by some problem with the BE-4s haha. So i was asking the commenter for clarification on how the booster engines might cause an upper stage structural test failure…

Or a moon-sized shoebox roving around.

No, Centaur V uses 2 RL10-C engines. They are very similar to the engines used on Centaur III which flies on the Atlas V.
Centaur V is the second stage of the Vulcan Centaur vehicle.
edit I misread your comment, the comment you replied to was deleted and I thought you were asking the question about the BE-4 engines.

Only across cosmological distances. This would be negligible for gamma rays emitted within, say, the local group, which is gravitationally bound against Hubble flow.

It's going to eventually be starlink, but my guess is that NASA/government is trying to hedge against Spx being a monopoly in space.

They're one of the commercial payloads aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Lander.
