this episode discuss Surya, a groundbreaking foundation model for heliophysics developed by NASA and IBM, now made open-source and available on GitHub and HuggingFace. Surya is designed to predict solar events like flares and solar wind, utilizing full-resolution data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). This AI-powered system significantly improves the lead time for forecasting space weather, which can impact Earth's power grids, satellites, and communications, by learning complex solar physics through its spatiotemporal transformer architecture.
