“Solar Orbiter’s Discovery Reveals Surprising Source of Solar Wind”
– Solar Orbiter spacecraft detects small jets of charged particles from the sun’s corona, known as “picoflare jets,” which may be a major source of mass and energy for the solar wind.
– These jets originate from coronal holes in the sun’s outer atmosphere, where the magnetic field stretches into space, providing new insights into the generation of the solar wind.
