"Unveiling the Enigma: Scientists Unravel the Sun's Greatest Mystery"

Scientists using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft have discovered small-scale fast-moving magnetic waves on the sun's surface that may explain the inexplicably high temperatures of the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere. These waves produce significant energy and could account for the temperature difference between the sun's surface and the corona. The findings provide new evidence that magnetic waves play a key role in heating the corona, a mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades.
