New method spots cosmic threats by extracting 3D direction of plasma ejections from sun's 2D ultraviolet images

A team of scientists has unveiled a novel method for the early estimation of coronal mass ejection (CME) direction in 3D space. The groundbreaking technique, named DIRECD—"Dimming InfeRred Estimate of CME Direction"—will provide crucial data to mitigate potential adverse impacts on various industries and technological systems both in space and on Earth.
