Prediction of solar energetic events impacting space weather conditions: #SpaceWeather Challenges: https://eos.org/science-updates/vast-space-sparse-data-an-ai-answer-to-twin-space-weather-challenges - modern machine learning and AI methods can help heliophysics researchers and space weather forecasters overcome limitations from a dearth of observations and the infrequency of extreme events.

Extremely active Sun from 1190 to 1220 in the Medieval Period - intercomparison of historical records and tree-ring carbon-14: #SpaceWeather: https://www.oist.jp/news-center/news/2026/4/10/medieval-japanese-poetry-and-buried-trees-help-elucidate-volatile-space-weather - combining carbon-14 measurements taken at the highest level of precision with historical literature lays a new foundation for studying unpredictable and hazardous solar proton events.
