NASA's Solar Probe Mission Reveals Mysterious Source of Solar Wind.

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has navigated through the solar wind, gathering vital information about the sun's workings. Scientists have warned about the potential impact of an upcoming solar storm, commonly referred to as an "internet apocalypse", which could strike within the next decade, causing people to lose internet access for months or even years, rendering satellites and power lines useless. Understanding the mechanism behind the sun's wind is important for practical reasons on Earth, as it affects our ability to understand how the sun releases energy and drives geomagnetic storms, which threaten our communication networks.
