The solar wind — the flow of charged particles, or plasma, from the Sun — radiates out over all the bodies in the solar system.
Parker probe was deployed to answer what accelerates the plasma and accompanying magnetic fields.
This solar wind travels at different speeds, fast and slow.
The data collected by the Parker Solar Probe has revealed fascinating insights into the workings of coronal holes.
These regions resemble showerheads on the sun’s surface, characterized by jets appearing as bright spots.
The probe’s findings indicate that these coronal holes are associated with the supergranulation flows within the sun’s atmosphere.
Magnetic fields passing in and out of the photosphere create these supergranulation cells, resulting in intensified magnetic energy within the funnel structures.
