- 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.
