Long before dark sunspots appear on the Sun’s surface, subtle signals ripple beneath. Once these latent percolations are complete, it signals the emergence of active regions, highly magnetically concentrated locales from which solar flares and eruptions can occur. Now, researchers say artificial intelligence can detect those faint signs nearly nine hours in advance, offering a
