Space storms could soon be forecasted with greater accuracy than ever before, thanks to a big leap forward in our understanding of exactly when a violent solar eruption may hit Earth.<\/h2>\n
Scientists say it is now possible to predict the precise speed a coronal mass ejection (CME) is travelling and when it will smash into our planet \u2013 even before it has fully erupted from the Sun.<\/p>\n
CMEs can cause geomagnetic space storms that have the potential to wreak havoc with terrestrial technology in Earth’s orbit and on its surface, which is why experts worldwide are striving to improve space weather forecasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
