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 […]

Can Solar Wind Make Water on Moon? NASA Experiment Shows Maybe
Can Solar Wind Make Water on Moon? NASA Experiment Shows Maybe NASA has confirmed that solar wind can create water on the Moon through a chemical reaction when charged particles from the Sun collide with lunar soil. The experiment, led by NASA researcher Li Hsia Yeo, used a custom apparatus to simulate the Moon’s environment […]
