An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun.  As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...

Watch how Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) met its demise after traveling close to the sun. Imagers aboard the Solar and Heliospheric ...

The research is published in the journal Scientific Reports. The simulations show that the radio-waves are guided by the heliospheric magnetic field via anisotropic scattering. Assuming that the ...

This swapping of the poles is expected to send increasingly weird space weather our way, in part because of a section of the sun's magnetosphere called the heliospheric current sheet—a ring of ...
