Live Coronal Predictions of the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse
Heliophysicists at Predictive Science, Inc., used NAS supercomputers to produce a continuously running, time-dependent prediction model starting three weeks before the April 8 total solar eclipse. The model was updated hourly with up-to-date measurements of the Sun's magnetic field from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission, and beautiful visualizations showed predictions of both white light brightness in the corona and magnetic field lines at very high resolution. Stay tuned later this month for more information about what the researchers learned from their coronal predictions!
