solar physics

https://phys.org/news/2020-02-xmm-newton-reveals-giant-flare-tiny.html It's pretty amazing to realize just how little we really know about cosmology and solar physics in the 21st century.

That's a pretty amazing video IMO. The improvements in resolution and cadence in the realm of solar physics over the past couple of decades is really quite impressive.

Solar Orbiter: How to watch daring new mission launch to the sun Like the Parker Solar Probe, the Solar Orbiter is going to study the sun up close and personal. SolO won't be getting quite a close to the sun as the PSP, but unlike the PSP, it will be studying the solar atmosphere around the...

Our Sun's Center-to-Limb Redshift: A Puzzle When we study redshift patterns from around our own solar atmosphere, we find evidence that plasma redshift is the real cause of photon redshift in space. It was once believed that space was a near vacuum. Now we know it's a dusty plasma...

Anyone who's been been following the SAFIRE experiments, and anyone who has studied Birkeland's lab experiments knows that EU/PC solar models (plural) *easily* explain and *experimentally* demonstrate a sustained full sphere hot corona of the sun. EU/PC solar models explain why the inner...
