and colleagues have examined four jets in great detail and found that they launch magnetic waves into the sun's upper atmosphere. These waves, called Alfven waves, propagate...
Vivid and lustrous, wafting iridescent waves of color wash across this skyscape from Kilpisjärvi, Finland. Known as nacreous clouds or mother-of-pearl clouds, they are rare...
medium caused by sunspots on the far side of the Sun. [more information] The MDI team's approach to peering through the Sun is more subtle. The Sun is a...
the visible surface, or photosphere, has a temperature of only about 6,000 degrees C. How the corona is heated is one of the great mysteries of solar physics. "It should be...
happening." The Science of Solar-B/JASMIN JASMIN will study several fundamental questions of Solar Science critical to developing an accurate and quantitative...
, ultrasound images appear instantly. You don't have to wait for, say, x-ray films to be developed. Got a problem? Ultrasound can find it quickly. An ultrasound probe works...
stars. This would provide valuable insight into such events, which are also detected through gravitational waves by observatories on Earth. These events are where most of the...
the electric and magnetic field environment of the lunar surface from DC to 20 MHz. The payload consists of a fluxgate magnetometer, a search coil magnetometer, and a 7-meter...
waves. Out of six runs, four were completed and portions of the other two were done. The crew was able to use sound to control the rotation of a single drop. Tracer particles...
as geologists use seismic waves to map the interior of our planet, solar physicists can use acoustic waves to map the interior of our star. On the sun, acoustic waves are...
