Antennas installed at 18 U.S. high schools detected bursts of radio activity that can precede solar disturbances capable of disrupting satellites and power grids on Earth. The observations helped researchers understand solar radio activity and enabled high school students to engage in scientific research, according to a University of Michigan-led study published in Earth and Space Science.
