    This is really good news. It’s hard to overstate how damaging a large, unforecasted CME event could do. It could be civilization-ending given where we are at this point.

      I hope that when a really bad CME event that happens that we previously would not have been able to forecast that this work is celebrated for saving so many lives pre-emptively.
