NASA's Parker Solar Probe has flown into the Sun's corona. Structures known as coronal streamers and the Milky Way can be ...

Scheduled to launch on Feb. 27, NASA's PUNCH mission could revolutionize space weather forecasts, unify the solar corona and the heliosphere, and help improve astronomy techniques.

Learn how these advances in instrumentation could provide a better understanding of solar winds and improve space weather ...

Furthermore, in 1987, Dr. Parker proposed that the solar corona was heated by a myriad of tiny nanoflares – solar flare-like brightenings that occur across the entirety of the Sun’s surface.

If you are outside this path—even if you’re close to it and see a 99% partial solar eclipse—you will see nothing mentioned here. No totality, no darkness, no corona, no planets (OK ...

The above 40-second video is sped-up footage of the new-found jets flashing briefly near the Sun’s south pole. In reality, ...

NASA’s PUNCH mission will explore the connection between the sun’s corona and the solar wind using 3D imaging.

The resulting ... Magnetic Field Maps of the Sun's Corona Sep. 11, 2024 — Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's ...

The WFIs use an artificial "horizon" and deep baffles to view the very faint outermost portion of the solar corona and the solar wind itself. "The instrument reduces direct sunlight by over 16 ...

The Parker Solar Probe is designed to explore the Sun's corona, the outer atmosphere that's millions of degrees hotter than ...

This mission further aims at investigating how the Sun’s corona transforms into the solar wind, helping improve space weather ...

For instance, its outer atmosphere, the corona, appears to be hotter than its surface — like, way hotter — and scientists aren't sure why. There's also a big puzzle concerning how the solar ...
