Rainbow in Space: NASA Mission Makes Stunning Discovery

A rainbow in space? NASA's new mission captures a stunning phenomenon. A newly launched NASA mission aimed at studying the movement of the Sun’s corona through the solar system as solar wind has captured an unexpected image: a rainbow in space. The image, presented by BBC News, shows a vibrant arc of color against the backdrop of the cosmos. BBC Weather Journalist Sophia Herod explains, “It’s not just for Mario Kart! The answer lies in polarized light, light scattered in different directions by particles in space.” This discovery helps scientists better understand space weather and the Sun’s influence on our solar system, from solar winds to solar flares. The mission's success highlights the ongoing exploration and discoveries in space science, promising further insights into the complexities of our universe.
