Coronal Mass Ejections Accelerate and Concentrate Nanodust Particles

A team of astronomers has discovered that coronal mass ejections accelerate and concentrate nanodust particles in the interplanetary medium, a conclusion derived from STEREO instruments that observed an increase in the rate of nanodust impacts on the spacecraft. Dust particles smaller than about a wavelength of light are abundant in our solar system, created by […]
