Scientists develop model to map the sun's hidden far side
Original: Mapping the sun: SwRI-led team develops probabilistic model to map the sun’s far side
A team led by the Southwest Research Institute has created a probabilistic model that maps activity on the far side of the sun, the hemisphere not visible from Earth. By estimating what conditions are like on the hidden half, the model could improve tracking of sunspots and solar eruptions that later rotate into view and affect space weather.
Why now: Better forecasting of solar activity matters because eruptions on the far side can disrupt satellites and power grids when they rotate toward Earth.
