Scientists have directly observed fully developed turbulence in the Sun’s corona for the first time, thanks to ESA’s Solar Orbiter. This discovery provides crucial insights into the solar wind’s behavior, which affects planetary magnetic fields and satellite communications. Captured by the Metis coronagraph, the footage shows turbulence beginning close to the Sun, offering unprecedented detail on the solar wind’s origins. This chaotic motion is essential for understanding the solar wind’s impact on the Solar System, including space weather phenomena that can disrupt Earth’s technology.
