  • "Some of the extreme ultraviolet light above active regions flickers erratically for a few hours before a solar flare," researcher Emily Mason said.

The article from Newsweek discusses NASA's efforts to enhance space weather prediction by studying solar flares and coronal loops. Solar flares, which are sudden eruptions of energy from the Sun, can disrupt satellite communications, power grids, and pose radiation risks to astronauts. NASA's research involves analyzing the magnetic fields and plasma dynamics within coronal loops, which are bright, curved structures seen in the Sun's corona. By understanding these phenomena, scientists aim to improve forecasting models for space weather events, thereby mitigating potential impacts on Earth's technological infrastructure. The article highlights the significance of this research in protecting our increasingly technology-dependent society from solar storms.
