Your GPS Can Fail Tomorrow — And It Won’t Be a Software Bug

The biggest threat to your GPS, power grid, and even air travel doesn’t come from hackers or glitches.
It comes from the Sun.

Solar flares and storms can knock out satellites, disrupt flights, trigger blackouts, and cost the global economy trillions. Traditional forecasting? Too limited.

That’s why IBM and NASA just released “Surya” — the world’s first open-source foundation AI model for solar weather prediction, now available on Hugging Face.

💡 What makes it different?

• Trained on 9 years of high-resolution solar data

• Achieves 16% better accuracy at predicting solar flares

• Offers visual forecasts of where solar storms will strike — hours before they happen

• Backed by the largest heliophysics dataset ever released

Think of it as a space weather forecast, but this one protects everything from satellites to farming systems that depend on GPS.

Surya isn’t just a research breakthrough — it’s a shield for our technology-driven world. And the fact that it’s open-source means researchers everywhere can now build on it.

The Sun may be 93 million miles away, but protecting our digital civilization starts today.
