A single burst of solar wind that Solar Orbiter happened to fly through has given scientists their clearest link yet between ...
A Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) study of data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Solar Orbiter gives the most detailed view of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) to date. The HCS is a ...
An astrophysicist theorized why the chemical composition of the Sun's tenuous outermost layer differs from that lower down. His theory has recently been validated by combined observations of the Sun's ...
Scientists have combined NASA data and cutting-edge image processing to gain new insight into the solar structures that create the Sun's flow of high-speed solar wind, detailed in new research ...
About 17 years ago, J. Martin Laming, an astrophysicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, theorized why the chemical composition of the Sun’s tenuous outermost layer differs from that lower down.
An enormous magnetic boundary stretching outward from the Sun is turning out to be more complicated than a simple dividing line. Measurements from the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter show that ...
