Magnetic Explosion Driving Space Weather Captured by NASA’s Parker Space Probe
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe detected energetic particles from a powerful magnetic explosion as it ventured through the Sun’s corona, providing new information on magnetic reconnection, an important factor in local space weather. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists conducted the work, illuminating how the phenomenon moves the solar wind by heating the Sun’s atmosphere. The work has major implications for understanding space weather threats to infrastructure, as well as the development of nuclear fusion. The Parker Solar Probe Since launching in 2018, the Parker Space Probe has made the closest approaches to the sun of any scientific instrument, enabling a valuable new stream of data about
