This is a visualization of
all of the solar flares observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
Plotted with D3, this stereographic projection of the Sun onto a plane shows
X-class flares as red, M-class flares as green, and C-class flares as yellow.
Predicting flares and other solar activity is one of the goals of SDO. But how do you predict a solar flare? The solution lies in machine learning algorithms. In a blog post, solar physicist Monica Bobra discusses how machine learning can be used to predict solar flares.
