NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Makes 27th Swing Around the Sun

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 27th close approach to the Sun on March 11, again matching its record distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface.

First maps of the #sun’s outer boundary may help predict #solarstorms
Data from inside the sun’s corona helped create a sharper picture than before
Maps of this boundary, known as the Alfvén critical surface, could help scientists better predict how solar activity affects satellites, human and animal health and atmospheric phenomena such as auroras.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has mapped the shifting boundary between the sun and the rest of the solar system.

In recent years, the #ParkerSolarProbe and #SolarOrbiter probes have delivered a wealth of data about our #Sun, its surface—precisely where the #SolarWind originates. The ubiquitous presence of #plasma jets and magnetic field reversals suggests that a significant portion of the wind forms through dynamic processes involving magnetic #reconnection and transient energy releases.

This Thursday, Alexis Rouillard will review recent research on the dynamics of the solar wind: https://www.irap.omp.eu/event/the-tempestuous-origins-of-the-solar-wind-how-parker-and-solar-orbiter-are-probing-our-stars-atmosphere/

Les sondes #ParkerSolarProbe et #SolarOrbiter ont livré quantité de données relatives à notre #Soleil, sa surface - là où naît le #VentSolaire. L'omniprésence de jets de #plasma et d'inversions de champ magnétique suggère qu'une partie importante du vent se forme à travers des processus dynamiques impliquant la #reconnexion magnétique et des libérations d'énergie transitoires.
