Sun-Grazing Comet Flies Deep Into Solar Corona
Palo Alto CA (SPX) Jun 12, 2013
On December 15-16, 2011, a Sun-grazing comet, designated Lovejoy (C/2011 W3), passed deep within the hot solar atmosphere - the corona - effectively probing a region that could never be visited by spacecraft because of the intense heat radiating from the nearby solar surface. In a paper published today in the journal Science, researchers from several institutions - including the Solar and Astrophysics Lab at the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Palo Alto, Calif. - have analyzed ... read more
