A new study by the University of California has opened up a new understanding of the turbulence in the sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona. Using high-resolution data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, the team was able to observe anisotropic density turbulence in the corona, which had not been observed before. This new discovery could help us better understand the solar wind and how it affects Earth’s atmosphere. It could also lead to more accurate models of the corona’s dynamics and a better understanding of the sun’s magnetic field.
