    Implications for Slow Solar Wind Formation by Solar Reconnection

    May 12, 2016, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    This image from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory on June 15, 1999, shows streaks of bright light. This represents material streaming out from the sun (which is obscured in this picture by the central red disk so that it cannot overwhelm the image of the fainter material around it). Two other NASA spacecraft measured this material closer to Earth to better understand what causes this regular outflow, known as the solar wind, from the sun. Credit: NASA/SOHO

    Solar flares and coronal mass ejections explode in the sun’s hot atmosphere, the corona, sending light and high energy particles out into space. The corona is also constantly releasing a stream of charged particles, aka solar wind. Even the slowest moving solar wind can reach speeds of ~700,000 mph...
