(Nanowerk News) In 1610, Galileo redesigned the telescope and discovered Jupiter's four largest moons. Nearly 400 years later, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope used its powerful optics to look deep into ...
One of the biggest unanswered questions in solar physics is why the Sun’s corona — its outermost atmosphere — is vastly ...
Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...
A novel way to detect hidden turbulence in the Sun’s outer atmosphere or corona could help scientists gain new insights into the long-standing mystery of why the corona is much hotter than the ...
