Solar Missions
Solar missions are scientific endeavors aimed at studying the Sun and its effects on the solar system. These missions utilize spacecraft equipped with advanced instruments to observe solar phenomena such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and the solar wind. Understanding these events helps scientists learn more about the Sun's behavior and its impact on Earth.
Notable solar missions include NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which travels closer to the Sun than any previous spacecraft, and the Solar Dynamics Observatory, which continuously monitors solar activity. These missions contribute valuable data that enhance our knowledge of space weather and its implications for technology and life on Earth.
