Preparing for a solar storm with 24 in advance.
It is a reality: a large solar storm hit Earth and cause a major disaster for the human world. Now, how can you predict this fact and how much you can do to reduce their impact? Currently, detection systems are capable of alerting between 30 and 60 minutes before the arrival of the magnetic blow; ie leave no room for maneuver.

That is why a team of researchers at the Goddard Space Center, NASA is developing a system to predict a coronal mass ejection 24 hours in advance.
The head of the research team, Neel Savani, explains that "As we use more and more technology, the greater the confusion that can cause this kind of events in our lives.
Breaking the barrier of 24 hours prediction is vital to deal with potential problems before it's too late. " So far the predictions were based on the measurement of the initial eruption, but nothing was known between now and the arrival of cloud to Earth, so he could not know the degree of danger until it is almost a given. The new technique is and model the evolution of the cloud for your trip, so you may notice one day before the degree of danger. In short, NASA conducted a series of tests of this new technique; if the results are good, the system will be adopted soon worldwide.
