"Unveiling the Secrets of Solar Storms: A Photographic Journey"

On April 17, 2021, a widespread solar storm launched high-speed protons and electrons, known as solar energetic particles (SEPs), towards several spacecraft across the inner solar system, including those orbiting Mars. The diverse perspectives from these spacecraft revealed that different types of SEPs can be propelled into space by different solar phenomena and in different directions, posing potential risks to technology and human health. Scientists are eager to understand the origins and acceleration of these particles to improve protection measures. The event also highlighted the importance of multiple spacecraft in studying widespread solar phenomena, offering deeper scientific insight and a more complete picture of space events.
