The research team’s work is far from over. Armed with these groundbreaking observations, they plan to continue monitoring coronal holes and other potential sources of solar winds using the Solar Orbiter. In addition to shedding light on the plasma flows responsible for producing awe-inspiring auroras on Earth, these continued observations could also provide insights into the baffling temperature discrepancy between the sun’s scorching corona and its comparatively cooler surface.
As scientists delve deeper into the mysteries of our star and the forces it unleashes, the Solar Orbiter’s mission is poised to rewrite our understanding of the cosmic ballet that shapes our solar system.
