Solar Orbiter uncovers the source of the Sun's fastest electrons
TL;DR
Scientists using the Solar Orbiter have traced high-speed electrons back to the sun, discovering they originate from two types of solar outbursts: small-scale solar flares and larger coronal mass ejections, which has implications for understanding space weather and protecting spacecraft.
