- Hinode mission delves into solar mysteries
12-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
New, peer-reviewed results from the Hinode space mission ("Sunrise" in English) should help explain some long-standing mysteries of the Sun, such as the huge temperature difference between its relatively cool surface and its white-hot atmosphere, and the origins of the solar wind that blasts through the solar system and buffets planetary atmospheres. These findings appear in a special collection of 10 articles, by scientists in Japan, Europe and the United States, in the Dec. 7 issue of the journal Science.
