SMP 2/15/14 | Where the Solar Wind Blows | Speaker: Susan Lepri

Saturday, February 15, 2014
5:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building

The Sun’s hot, gaseous corona continuously expands at supersonic speeds, filling the solar system with magnetized plasma. Through the solar wind and the plasma carried along with it, the Sun touches and interacts with each of the planets and other bodies in the solar system. We will discuss how the solar wind is born and how it influences objects in the solar system.

Detailed Information
