NASA may now predict killer solar storms ‘30 minutes’ before they hit Earth

NASA has developed an AI-enabled computer model that can predict solar storms with a lead time of 30 minutes before they hit Earth. The model, called DAGGER (Deep Learning Geomagnetic Perturbation), uses machine learning techniques to discern patterns by analysing prior instances of solar storms. DAGGER establishes correlations between solar wind measurements and the observed geomagnetic disruptions at ground stations across the globe. The predictions generated by DAGGER can be produced in less than a second, with regular updates available every minute.

Tim Friede: Man bitten by snakes hundreds of times helps create broad antivenom

Tim Friede, a self-taught snake enthusiast, endured hundreds of venomous bites, enabling researchers to develop a potentially groundbreaking antivenom. His unique antibodies could help treat snakebite victims globally, particularly in India, by neutralizing toxins across multiple snake species.

Potential presence of primitive lunar mantle materials on Chandrayaan-3 landing site: Study

Chandrayaan-3's landing site revealed high sulphur levels, suggesting presence of primitive lunar mantle materials from the South Pole-Aitken basin's formation 4.3 billion years ago, offering insights into early lunar evolution and composition.
