Solution to the Coronal Heating Mystery Presented at 2015 TESS Meeting

Researchers detail why the sun’s atmosphere is so much hotter than its surface, revealing that the heating mechanism depends on regular, but intermittent explosive bursts of heat, rather than on continuous gradual heating. The sun’s surface is blisteringly hot at 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit — but its atmosphere is another 300 times hotter. This has led […]
