Here is more on the importance of such a tool:

This can result in potentially life-threatening issues: GPS failures will not just leave drivers lost, but can prevent planes from landing safely, while essential radio transmissions can also be disrupted.

Not all CMEs will do damage to our technology; whether or not they will result in a damaging geomagnetic storm is down to the orientation of the magnetic field within one, something that satellites are designed to assess so that evasive action can occur.

Awesome I hope this thing works.  And here is a bonus video with an intro:

Eruptive events on the sun can be wildly different. Some come just with a solar flare, some with an additional ejection of solar material called a coronal mass ejection (CME), and some with complex moving structures in association with changes in magnetic field lines that loop up into the sun’s atmosphere, the corona.

On July 19, 2012, an eruption occurred on the sun that produced all three. A moderately powerful solar flare exploded on the sun’s lower right hand limb, sending out light and radiation. Next came a CME, which shot off to the right out into space. And then, the sun treated viewers to one of its dazzling magnetic displays — a phenomenon known as coronal rain.

We hope you enjoy the video!
