NASA’s Parker Solar Probe finds hidden barrier that explains the sun’s mysterious heat
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has flown closer to the Sun than ever before, offering the first direct glimpse into the turbulent solar atmosphere. Scientists have discovered that a phenomenon called the “helicity barrier” disrupts the way energy is transformed into heat, solving a major puzzle in how the Sun’s corona gets so hot and the solar wind accelerates. This breakthrough helps explain why solar wind protons are hotter than electrons and may a…
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has detected unexpected order and organized patterns within the complex turbulence of space. These significant findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of magnetic storms and solar flares on Earth.
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Discovers Something Unexpected Hidden in the Chaos of Space
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has uncovered hidden order in space turbulence, a finding that could help scientists understand magnetic storms on Earth. Smoke rising from an incense stick can begin as a thin, steady stream before curling and spreading unpredictably. The smoke makes turbulence in the air visible. Turbulence also occurs in space, where the [...]
This discovery could help scientists better understand the nature of magnetic storms on Earth, as well as improve their prediction.
Parker Solar Probe found that magnetic fields in turbulent plasma change the direction of rotation depending on the scale of the oscillations. The discovery will help to better understand space weather and magnetic storms on Earth.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has uncovered an unexpected pattern within the chaotic plasma movements of space. The international research team determined that magnetic fields change direction of rotation at different scales. This discovery could contribute to a better understanding of solar storms affecting Earth.
