In March 2025, NASA launched the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission in an effort to better understand solar weather. Now, the PUNCH team has taken those images and data to show how much the mission can improve solar storm forecasts. A CME causes solar storm, which happens when the solar materials from the blast reach Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. Solar storms can cause geomagnetic storms in the Earth's magnetic field, which could then lead to radio blackouts and power outages. They believe that with even better models and more refined data from PUNCH, it would be possible to forecast solar storms even further in advance.
