Watch as ESA's artificial eclipse maker catches 3 solar prominences erupting one after another
The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 is a marvel of engineering. Two spacecraft fly in formation to observe the Sun. Well, not exactly the Sun, but its atmosphere: the corona. The two spacecraft get ...
At more than one million degrees, the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona, is incredibly hot. However, not everywhere. Time and again, huge structures of significantly cooler solar plasma - about 10,000 ...
The new computer simulations are based on a magnetic field structure that is often associated with prominences: the magnetic field lines in the corona form a double arc with a small dip in the middle.
