Q1. What have IBM and NASA recently developed?
Ans. They have developed an open-source AI model to predict solar weather.
Q2. What is the main purpose of this AI model?
Ans. Its purpose is to accurately forecast solar storms, solar winds, and other space weather events.
Q3. Why is predicting solar weather important?
Ans. Because solar storms can disrupt satellites, GPS, communication networks, and even power grids.
Q4. Why is this model called “open-source”?
Ans. It’s open-source because it is publicly available for researchers, scientists, and developers to use and improve freely.
Q5. How does this AI model work?
Ans. The model analyzes massive amounts of solar activity data using machine learning to make predictions.
Q6. How will space agencies benefit from it?
Ans. They will be able to prepare in advance and protect satellites and space missions from solar storms.
Q7. Will this technology benefit common people as well?
Ans. Yes, it will help keep power grids, internet, and communication systems safe from disruptions.
Q8. What are the roles of IBM and NASA in this project?
Ans. NASA provided space and solar data, while IBM developed the AI and modeling system.
Q9. How is this model different from traditional forecasting systems?
Ans. Unlike older systems that were slower and less precise, this AI model is faster, smarter, and more accurate.
Q10. What are the future possibilities of this technology?
Ans. It could revolutionize global space weather forecasting and provide early warnings worldwide.
