- but what does it do for the next 200 times … but what does it do for the next 200 times? Is it the same? Does it change? Does it get progressively more active as the sun gets active? Do they get progressively weaker? Do they get faster? Do they get slower? Do they go off in a particular direction?</br>All these questions need you to have lots of numbersquestions need you to have lots of numbers +

So we are actually able to stand back and look at the storm coming from a distance.</br>We want to really start building a space weather forecast from this.
