Solar Physics is the branch of astrophysics that focuses on the study of the Sun, its structure, dynamics, and the various phenomena associated with it. This field encompasses the investigation of solar material, including its composition, temperature, and magnetic fields, as well as solar activities such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. Researchers in solar physics aim to understand the Sun’s influence on the solar system, particularly its effects on space weather and the Earth’s atmosphere. By studying the Sun’s behavior and the physical processes occurring within it, solar physicists contribute to a greater understanding of stellar behavior in general and provide insights that can enhance our knowledge of other stars in the universe.
NASA has achieved an extraordinary milestone with its Parker Solar Probe, which has successfully completed the closest approach to the Sun ever made by a human-made spacecraft. On December 24,…
