The study, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters in December 2024, analyzed data from 50 solar flares captured by the observatory. Researchers found that these ultraviolet flashes happen 2 to 6 hours before a flare, with a prediction accuracy of 60 to 80%. Stronger flashes seem to match more intense flares, but scientists say further observation is needed to confirm this connection
