What’s on the space-weather forecast? Our heliophysicists at NASA Goddard have plans to fly in a high-altitude scientific balloon measuring the properties of the Sun’s upper atmosphere, or corona, and how it affects solar wind across the solar system. This flight happening next fall will mark the first time we’ve flown a coronagraph to detect the density, temperature, and speed of electrons in the corona.
