Solar Exploration
Solar exploration refers to the study of the Sun and its effects on the solar system. Scientists use various tools, such as satellites and telescopes, to observe solar phenomena like solar flares and sunspots. Understanding the Sun helps researchers learn about its structure, behavior, and the energy it provides to Earth.
One of the key missions in solar exploration is the Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018. This spacecraft travels closer to the Sun than any previous mission, gathering data on solar winds and magnetic fields. The information collected will enhance our knowledge of solar activity and its impact on space weather.
