NASA to improve space weather forecasting through diversified data streams
Within 3 years a team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. hopes to apply "ensemble forecasting"--a technique used by meteorologists to predict the path and severity of hurricanes
JASON: Severe space weather can damage the power grid
Coronal mass ejections--enormous magnetized clouds of electrified gas emitted from the sun--have been known to disrupt the electric grid as they hit the Earth's protective magnetic field, and because
Solar flare radiation can last hours
Previously undetected emissions from the sun shows that some solar flares continue to pump out radiation for hours after their initial burst, say researchers from NASA, the University of Colorado,
Audio: Federal researchers discuss new findings about solar flare radiation
Radiation from solar flares can continue for up to five hours beyond the main phase, say scientific researchers from NASA, the University of Colorado, Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
NASA unprepared to deal with mounting orbital debris
NASA models show orbital debris--such as abandoned equipment and spent rocket bodies--has reached a "tipping point," but the agency's management structure has not kept pace with the increasingly
NASA opens raw data index
NASA unveiled a catalog of open data on Aug. 30 with the launch of data.nasa.gov. The site features a directory of datasets, tools for using the data, and a mechanism for reporting to NASA on data
NASA reports breakthrough in space weather monitoring
Thanks to data collected from NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and advances in modeling, scientists can for the first time watch a coronal mass ejection from its formation on
