Solar Orbiter Uncovers Tiny Jets Fueling Solar Wind
TL;DR
The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered tiny jets of material escaping from the Sun's outer atmosphere, challenging traditional beliefs about the origin of the solar wind. Each jet lasts between 20 and 100 seconds and expels plasma at high speeds. These findings could have implications for understanding the solar wind's generation and other stars' atmospheres.
