Solar eruptions are commonly categorized as jets or coronal mass ejections, also known as CMEs.

Key Points: 
  • Solar eruptions are commonly categorized as jets or coronal mass ejections, also known as CMEs.
  • The research, presented at the virtual American Astronomical Society meeting in June 2021, shows that these two eruption types may simply be two ends of an eruption continuum.
  • Often, the seeds of a solar eruption are sown days or weeks in advance, when two oppositely-charged magnetic fields begin moving away from each other.
  • Because this stretching leaves the field lines largely horizontal, they often fill with cool plasma, and become known as solar prominences.

Naval Research Laboratory Space Science Division (SSD) researchers joined an international cadre of scientists July 27 in presenting the results of the first simultaneous global solar corona images of the helium and hydrogen emission that is helping scientists to better understand the space environment.

Key Points: 
  • Naval Research Laboratory Space Science Division (SSD) researchers joined an international cadre of scientists July 27 in presenting the results of the first simultaneous global solar corona images of the helium and hydrogen emission that is helping scientists to better understand the space environment.
  • The paper, "Global Helium Abundance Measurements in the Solar Corona," was published online in Nature Astronomy and discusses the abundance of helium relative to hydrogen in the solar corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun, seen from earth only during eclipses.
  • NRL Astrophysicist Dennis Wang, Ph.D., software lead for the HElium Resonance Scattering in the Corona and HEliosphere (HERSCHEL) rocket flight, was responsible for flight and ground software.
  • His NRL colleague, Research Physicist Martin Laming, Ph.D., managed the new model of element abundance fractionation, to include helium.

The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international group of experts co-sponsored by NASA and NOAA, announced that solar minimum occurred in December 2019 , marking the start of a new solar cycle.

Key Points: 
  • The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international group of experts co-sponsored by NASA and NOAA, announced that solar minimum occurred in December 2019 , marking the start of a new solar cycle.
  • Scientists use sunspots to track solar cycle progress ; the dark blotches on the Sun are associated with solar activity, often as the origins for giant explosions such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections which can spew light, energy, and solar material into space.
  • Doug Biesecker, panel co-chair and solar physicist at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center( SWPC ) in Boulder, Colorado, said Solar Cycle 25 is anticipated to be as strong as the last solar cycle, which was a below-average cycle, but not without risk.
  • "Just because it's a below-average solar cycle, doesn't mean there is no risk of extreme space weather," Biesecker said.
