Since it launched in 2010, the Solar Dynamics Observatory has helped scientists understand better what causes solar flares. One of the main goals of the mission was to be able to create forecasts for predicting activity on the Sun. , helping them to predict when some flares would occure.
The new database makes it easier for scientists to use data from SDO’s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly large statistical studies. “It’s the first time a database like this is readily available for the scientific community, and it will be very useful for studying many topics, not just flare-ready active regions,” Dissauer said.from the database, and their analysis revealed there are frequently small, intense brightness changes in the corona before the solar flares.
The team said their methods could eventually help improve predictions of flares and space weather storms. Space weather can affect Earth in many ways: producing auroras, endangering astronauts, disrupting radio communications, and even causing large electrical blackouts.
