  • The Scientists have unraveled the science behind the jets of plasma.
  • Plasma is the fourth state of matter consisting of electrically charged particles that occur just about everywhere in the sun’s chromosphere.
  • The jets, or spicules, appear as thin grass-like plasma structures that constantly shoot up from the surface and are then brought down by gravity.
  • The amount of energy and momentum that these spicules can carry is of fundamental interest in solar and plasma astrophysics.
  • The scientists recently elaborated that the plasma right below the visible solar surface (photosphere) is perpetually in a state of convection, much like boiling water in a vessel heated at the bottom.
