NASA’s Parker Probe Reveals New Details of the Sun's Outer Boundary

Originally Published 28 days ago — by Space

Scientists have created the first detailed maps of the sun's outer atmosphere boundary, called the Alfvén surface, revealing that it becomes larger, rougher, and more jagged during solar maximum, using data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe and other spacecraft, which helps improve understanding of solar wind and space weather prediction.
