Is the magnetosphere talking to you? Or did you just take a few too many chewables?

Inquiring minds want to know.

3D Photos of Solar Wind Will Reveal More About What We See As Auroras

The goal of the mission is to examine how solar corona transitions into solar wind, which is what is visible as auroras on Earth.

Solar Wind Compression Heats Jupiter's Atmosphere Significantly | Geekoo

Researchers at the University of Reading have observed that intense solar wind compressions can heat Jupiter's atmosphere to temperatures exceeding 500°C, revealing new insights into planetary responses to solar activity.

NASA’s PUNCH Mission to Revolutionize Our View of Solar Wind 

Earth is immersed in material streaming from the Sun. This stream, called the solar wind, is washing over our planet, causing breathtaking auroras, impacting

[On the origin of slow and fast solar winds] In late 2022 - early 2023, ESA's #SolarOrbiter probe orbited in relative proximity to the #Sun - less than 50 million kilometers away, enabling the onboard instruments to capture high-resolution images of #jets in coronal holes and make direct measurements of the solar wind.

These jets, omnipresent in the dark regions of the solar atmosphere, have been shown to be a source of both slow and fast #SolarWind: for almost a minute, they project charged particles at a speed of 100 km/sec.
