New solar model maps the sun's far side more accurately

Original: New solar model maps sun more accurately by checking far-side activity

Researchers have introduced a new solar model that maps the sun more accurately by incorporating observations of activity on the sun's far side, the hemisphere not visible from Earth. The approach is expected to improve tracking of sunspots and solar activity, which matter for space weather forecasting.

Why now: Improved far-side mapping could advance space weather prediction, a topic of growing interest.
