Researchers have identified a type of solar activity in Sun 's atmosphere that might precede and thus signal forthcoming solar flares.

The researchers suggest that observing the ultraviolet brightness variations in coronal loops can predict future solar flares two to six hours ahead of time with 60 to 80 percent accuracy.

A reliable early warning system would thus be a welcome tool for mitigating the dangers of space weather.
