Tiny Jets Could Power Solar Orbiter Beyond the Sun
Scientists have recently made a groundbreaking discovery about our sun, thanks to the Solar Orbiter spacecraft! The Solar Orbiter, a spacecraft managed jointly by the European Space Agency and NASA, has found tiny jets of hot gas that travel away from the sun in a phenomenon called “solar wind.” This discovery was made possible by the spacecraft’s unprecedented proximity to the sun, as well as its ability to measure the temperature and direction of the solar wind. This new insight into the sun’s activity can help us better understand and predict the sun’s influence on Earth.
