The Solar Wind Emerges
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Winds of fast particles blow out from the Sun, but why? Astronomers came a step closer to answering this question by making detailed observations of the high-speed wind source with the SOHO spacecraft. Images like these isolate regions of inflowing gas, shown in red, and outflowing gas, shown in blue. Particles flow out at speeds near 3 million kilometers per hour.
