NASA’s CODEX Captures Unique Views of Sun’s Outer Atmosphere
NASA’s CODEX Captures Unique Views of Sun’s Outer Atmosphere NASA’s CODEX instrument has captured unique views of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, revealing temperature changes and gusty, uneven flow. The CODEX instrument, located on the International Space Station, uses a coronagraph to measure the speed and temperature of solar wind using special filters. These first-of-their-kind measurements […]
