NASA's Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere, or PUNCH mission, is a constellation of four small satellites in low Earth orbit that will make global, 3D observations of the Sun's corona to better understand how the mass and energy there become the solar wind that fills the solar system. Imaging the Sun's corona and the solar wind together will help scientists better understand the entire inner heliosphere—the Sun, solar wind, and Earth—as a single connected system. Solar wind and energetic solar events like flares and coronal mass ejections can create space weather effects throughout the solar system. These phenomena can significantly impact human society and technology, sparking and intensifying auroras, interfering with satellites, and triggering power outages. The measurements from PUNCH will provide scientists with new information about how these potentially disruptive events form and evolve. This could lead to more accurate predictions about the arrival of space weather events at Earth and the impact on humanity's robotic explorers in space. The launch of PUNCH and the SPHEREx mission is scheduled for no earlier than 27 February 2025 from Vandenberg SFB. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center, and MUSE Outreach Lead Rebecca Robinson will attend the launch and return to the SETI Institute for a chat about the mission, its scientific goals, and its relevance to understanding life on Earth. (Recorded live 6 March 2025. PUNCH launched on 11 March.)
Launch is approaching for NASA's Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere or PUNCH mission, led by SwRI. Four suitcase-sized satellites equipped with special instruments are setting out to capture the first images of the solar wind, the stream of charged particles that flows out from the Sun's corona. PUNCH will examine the solar wind in low-Earth orbit, protected by our planet's magnetosphere. The mission is exploring space weather and its impact on Earth, including how it affects power grids, satellites and astronauts. Listen now as Dr. Craig DeForest, SwRI space scientist, heliophysics expert and PUNCH principal investigator, discusses the mission's upcoming launch, how PUNCH will make the invisible solar wind visible for the first time and his inspiration to study the Sun, the star that powers our planet.

A giant “bubble” surrounds our solar system. It's kept puffed up by the Sun, and it extends far into space. In fact, scientists recently came up with a new estimate of the bubble's extent: a thousand times the distance from Earth to the Sun. The bubble is known as the heliosphere. It's created by the Sun's magnetic field. A flow of charged particles known as the solar wind streams into space along the lines of magnetic force. As the Sun rotates, the streams spin around like ribbons of water from a lawn sprinkler. Eventually, the solar wind gives way to particles from interstellar space — the boundary of the heliosphere. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have been probing the boundary. The craft are farther from the Sun than any other spacecraft in history. Their observations indicate that they're in a transition zone. The interstellar magnetic field drapes around the heliosphere like water flowing around the bow of a ship. Scientists recently combined readings from the Voyagers with those from IBEX — a satellite in Earth orbit that looks for the boundary of the heliosphere. Their work suggests that the transition zone may extend a thousand times the Earth-Sun distance — about a hundred billion miles. The Voyagers won't live long enough to reach that boundary. But other probes — in Earth orbit and beyond — should help scientists map the exact extent of the heliosphere. We'll talk about an even bigger bubble tomorrow.

Data driven analysis of Galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere: diffusion of cosmic protons and nuclei by Nicola Tomassetti et al. on Wednesday 12 October Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) inside the heliosphere are affected by magnetic turbulence and Solar wind disturbances which result in the so-called solar modulation effect. To investigate this phenomenon, we have performed a data-driven analysis of the temporal dependence of the GCR flux over the solar cycle. With a global statistical inference of GCR data collected in space by AMS-02, PAMELA, and CRIS on monthly basis, we have determined the dependence of the GCR diffusion parameters upon time and rigidity. In this conference, we present our results for GCR protons and nuclei, we discuss their interpretation in terms of basic processes of particle transport and their relations with the dynamics of the heliospheric plasma. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.05699v1
Galactic Cosmic-Ray Propagation in the Inner Heliosphere: Improved Force-Field Model by Jung-Tsung Li et al. on Thursday 22 September A key goal of heliophysics is to understand how cosmic rays propagate in the solar system's complex, dynamic environment. One observable is solar modulation, i.e., how the flux and spectrum of cosmic rays changes as they propagate inward. We construct an improved force-field model, taking advantage of new measurements of magnetic power spectral density by Parker Solar Probe to predict solar modulation within the Earth's orbit. We find that modulation of cosmic rays between the Earth and Sun is modest, at least at solar minimum and in the ecliptic plane. Our results agree much better with the limited data on cosmic-ray radial gradients within Earth's orbit than past treatments of the force-field model. Our predictions can be tested with forthcoming direct cosmic-ray measurements in the inner heliosphere by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. They are also important for interpreting the gamma-ray emission from the Sun due to scattering of cosmic rays with solar matter and photons. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14815v2

Using TeV Cosmic Rays to probe the Heliosphere's Boundary with the Local Interstellar Medium by Paolo Desiati et al. on Monday 19 September The heliosphere is the magnetic structure formed by the Sun's atmosphere extending into the local interstellar medium (ISM). The boundary separating the heliosphere from the ISM is a still largely unexplored region of space. Even though both Voyager spacecraft entered the local ISM and are delivering data, they are two points piercing a vast region of space at specific times. The heliospheric boundary regulates the penetration of MeV- GeV galactic cosmic rays (CR) in the inner heliosphere. Interstellar keV neutral atoms are crucial to the outer heliosphere since they can penetrate unperturbed and transfer energy to the solar wind. Missions such as NASA's IBEX and Cassini are designed to detect neutral atoms and monitor charge exchange processes at the heliospheric boundary. The heliosphere does not modulate the TeV CR intensity, but it does influence their arrival direction distribution. Ground-based CR observatories have provided accurate maps of CR anisotropy as a function of energy in the last couple of decades. Combining observations to produce all-sky coverage makes it possible to investigate the heliosphere's impact on TeV CR particles. We can numerically calculate the pristine TeV CR distribution in the local ISM with state-of-the-art heliosphere models. Only by subtracting the heliospheric influence is it possible to use TeV CR observations to infer propagation properties and the characteristics of magnetic turbulence in the ISM. Numerical calculations of CR particle trajectories through heliospheric models provide a complementary tool to probe the boundary region properties. A program boosting heliospheric modeling with emphasis on the boundary region and promoting combined CR experimental data analyses from multiple experiments benefits CR astrophysics and provides additional data and tools to explore the interaction between the heliosphere and the local ISM. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08122v1
CME Evolution in the Structured Heliosphere and Effects at Earth and Mars During Solar Minimum by Erika Palmerio et al. on Tuesday 13 September The activity of the Sun alternates between a solar minimum and a solar maximum, the former corresponding to a period of "quieter" status of the heliosphere. During solar minimum, it is in principle more straightforward to follow eruptive events and solar wind structures from their birth at the Sun throughout their interplanetary journey. In this paper, we report analysis of the origin, evolution, and heliospheric impact of a series of solar transient events that took place during the second half of August 2018, i.e. in the midst of the late declining phase of Solar Cycle 24. In particular, we focus on two successive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and a following high-speed stream (HSS) on their way towards Earth and Mars. We find that the first CME impacted both planets, whilst the second caused a strong magnetic storm at Earth and went on to miss Mars, which nevertheless experienced space weather effects from the stream interacting region (SIR) preceding the HSS. Analysis of remote-sensing and in-situ data supported by heliospheric modelling suggests that CME--HSS interaction resulted in the second CME rotating and deflecting in interplanetary space, highlighting that accurately reproducing the ambient solar wind is crucial even during "simpler" solar minimum periods. Lastly, we discuss the upstream solar wind conditions and transient structures responsible for driving space weather effects at Earth and Mars. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.05760v1
Near-Earth Supernovae in the Past 10 Myr: Implications for the Heliosphere by Jesse A. Miller et al. on Thursday 08 September We summarize evidence that multiple supernovae exploded within 100 pc of Earth in the past few Myr. These events had dramatic effects on the heliosphere, compressing it to within ~20 au. We advocate for cross-disciplinary research of nearby supernovae, including on interstellar dust and cosmic rays. We urge for support of theory work, direct exploration, and study of extrasolar astrospheres. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03497v1
Magnetic field spectral evolution in the inner heliosphere by Nikos Sioulas et al. on Tuesday 06 September The radial evolution of the magnetic field fluctuations spectral index and its dependence on plasma parameters is investigated using a merged Parker Solar Probe ($PSP$) and Solar Orbiter ($SO$) dataset covering heliocentric distances between $0.06 ~ lesssim R ~lesssim 1$ au. The spectrum is studied as a function of scale, normalized to the radially dependent ion inertial scale $d_{i}$. In the vicinity of the Sun, the magnetic spectrum inertial range is limited with a power law exponent $alpha_{B}$ consistent with the Iroshnikov-Kraichman phenomenology of Alfv'enic turbulence, $alpha_{B} = -3/2$, independent of plasma parameters. The inertial range of turbulence grows with distance from the Sun, progressively extending to larger spatial scales, while at the same time steepening towards a Kolomogorov scaling, with a mean value of $alpha_{B} =-5/3$. Highly alfv'enic intervals seem to retain their near-Sun scaling and only show a minor steepening with distance. In contrast, intervals, where turbulence is characterized by large magnetic energy excess and no dominance of outwardly propagating Alfv'enic fluctuations, appear to have spectra that steepen significantly with distance from the Sun, resulting in slightly anomalously steep inertial range slopes at $1~au$. Though generically slower solar wind streams exhibit steeper spectra, the correlation can be attributed to the underlying positive correlation between solar wind speed and alfv'enicity, i.e. to the relatively rare occurrence of highly Alfv'enic slow wind. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02451v1

From a distance of approximately three point eight billion miles, Voyager 1 had a unique vantage point of home.
Just what is the heliosphere and how doe sit work? What shape is the heliosphere (spoiler alert, probably not a sphere). At the very edge of our solar system lies the boundary between our neighborhood and interstellar space. Do outside forces from interstellar space jumble up the heliosphere? Sandwiched between Space and the Earth, the Ionsphere buzzes and hums with a pulsing generator. Winds from earth can bend and shape plasma in our ionsphere to make a generator. Moving a conducting object through a magnetic field can generate electricty, and its happening right now 100km above our heads. M. Opher, J. F. Drake, G. Zank, E. Powell, W. Shelley, M.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Dongfang Hour China Aero/Space News Roundup! Without further ado, the news update from the week of 12 - 18 April. 1) CASIC Institute tests spaceplane propulsion technologyThis week we saw an article published by the S&T Daily on a CASIC institute completing a precooling technology validation test, which is an essential technology for spaceplane propulsion.According to the article, CASIC’s 3rd Academy’s 31st Institute, an institute specialized in aerospace propulsion, has been looking at precooling technology since June 2018. In past conferences, it has shown a technological roadmap where it shows the development of precooling technology over the early mid 2020s, and moving on to 15t and 30t combined-cycle engines which would power 2-stage spaceplane prototypes.The latest test managed to cool air from 1000C down to -150C in 0.01 seconds. Undeniably a significant technical milestone for their “Yunlong” engine (which seems to be the name given to the engine). 2) Wu Weiren, chief-designer of China’s lunar exploration program, discusses China’s “Double One Hundred” goalWu Weiren, the chief-designer of China’s lunar exploration program, was interviewed this week by the official space industry media China Space News, in which he announced that China was aiming for a “Double One Hundred” goal (双百目标). To understand this, there are several points to discuss:Firstly, China likes anniversaries linked to its modern history, especially when its round numbers. Two of the big events are the founding of the CCP (1921), and the PRC (1949). There have been regularly large events to celebrate these dates, typically in 2019 a massive military parade on China’s National Day to celebrate the 70 years of the founding of the PRC.2049 will be the 100th anniversary, and for that China is planning to send scientific probes in what is considered the boundaries of the heliosphere, 100 AU away from the Earth. And 100 AU on the 100th anniversary: thus the “double one hundred”.3) A Report on China’s Aerospace Manufacturing CapabilitiesThis Friday, we saw SCMP publish an article about China’s aviation manufacturing capabilities, with the title telling you everything you need to know--”China’s Aviation Capabilities stuck at ‘low-end’ as military-civil fusion weighs on innovation”. Quite a lot to unpack from this article. First, the SCMP article quotes a report written by the Development Research Center of Shanghai and published on ThePaper.cn, a website owned by the Shanghai Government. I had a decent dig through ThePaper.cn and could not find the report, however it is a massive website that publishes a prodigious amount of news, so it’s possible I simply could not find it.Relying therefore on the SCMP summary, the report was apparently very frank about China’s weaknesses in the aviation and aerospace sectors. In particular, the report cited specific key technologies, such as engines, airborne equipment, and new composite materials. The report also cites China’s airworthiness certification abilities as being weak, and “cannot be fully recognized internationally in the short-term”. The report brings up a handful of issues that we have highlighted in previous episodes of the Dongfang Hour. This includes emphasis on military-civil fusion, an overly large influence of SOEs on the development of innovation-driven sectors, and an “incomplete distribution mechanism” of shared risks and benefits. This has been another episode of the Dongfang Hour China Aero/Space News Roundup. We look forward to seeing you next time!---------------------------------------- Follow us on YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter (https://twitter.com/DongFangHour), as an audio podcast, and on our official website: https://www.dongfanghour.com/

One year ago, on Nov. 5, 2018, NASA's Voyager 2 became only the second spacecraft in history to leave the heliosphere — the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields created by our Sun. At a distance of about 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from Earth — well beyond the orbit of Pluto — Voyager 2 had entered interstellar space, or the region between stars. Today, five new research papers in the journal Nature Astronomy describe what scientists observed during and since Voyager 2's historic crossing.

On this week's episode we review some important progress in the Commercial Crew Program as both SpaceX and Boeing have had successful tests on their human rated spacecraft. This means the rest of this year will be busy with more testing of the Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner. We also review the general details on what Voyager 2 has found since it exited the Heliosphere of our Sun and entered interstellar space (not all of it is what we expected).

The PUNCH mission (starts at 8:05) NASA’s new mission to study the Sun is called PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere). In this episode of How on Earth we talk with solar physicist Dr. Craig DeForest, the Principal Investigator of the PUNCH mission. Dr. DeForest is a Program Director at the Boulder office of Southwest Research Institute, and he explains how PUNCH will use polarimetry to study the outer part of the solar atmosphere, the million-degree hot corona, and how it interacts and evolves into the solar wind.

So voyager 1 crossed the Heliosphere in 2012 and was detecting some cosmic rays and now the voyager 2 is detecting the same cosmic rays so it time to cross the heliosphere as well. Heliosphere and heliopause are a sun vas bubble that our sun created and goes way far where pluto is so it's very wide and and it kind protect our solar system from the interstellar space

In this lecture, Prof. Marco Velli discusses our present knowledge of the magnetized solar corona and wind and describes the PSP scientific objectives, orbit, and instruments. Emphasis is on the potential new discoveries stemming from the first exploration of the space inside the orbit of Mercury. Prof. Velli also discusses how synergies with Solar Orbiter might lead us to accurately understand the state of the solar wind all the way from the corona into interplanetary space, elucidating like never before the role and dynamics of active magnetized plasmas throughout the universe.

Not so much hiding in plain sight, but tucked under the ice-sheet in Antarctica are 91 volcanoes. This adds to the 47 volcanoes already known on the continent. After a graduate student posed the question,"are there any volcanoes in Western Antarctica?", Dr Robert Bingham, and colleagues, at Edinburgh University, scoured the satellite and database records to find the volcanoes. This huge region is likely to dwarf that of East Africa's volcanic ridge, which is currently the most volcano-dense region on Earth. Journalist Mark O'Connell is the second of our Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize 2017 nominees. His broad-minded, yet sceptical look at the world of 'transhumanism', "To be a Machine: Adventures Among Cyborgs, Utopians, Hackers, and the Futurists Solving the Modest Problem of Death", questions how and why some of us are looking to use technology to fundamentally change the human condition. On Monday 21st of August 2017, some of the United States will go dark. This is the first total solar eclipse, visible from coast to coast in the US for 99 years. Gareth gets excited with veteran eclipse watchers, David Baron and Jackie Beucher. On the 20th of August 1977, NASA's probe Voyager 2 launched. This was quickly followed two weeks later by the launch of Voyager 1 (which was on a faster trajectory). Since then the two spacecraft have been exploring our Solar System, the Heliosphere and interstellar space. Surpassing all expectations, the probes have taught us so much about our planets, their moons and beyond. Gareth looks back at the highlights with the Voyager mission's chief scientist, Professor Ed Stone, in a celebration of the 40 year mission. Produced by Fiona Roberts Presented by Gareth Mitchell.

In this special broadcast, we bring you an interview with The Thunderbolts Project's very own David Talbott, originally recorded for Red Ice Radio. Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice is one of the podcast world's most talented interviewers, and he and David cover a broad range of relevant topics in this conversation. This is a great discussion for anyone new to The Thunderbolts Project, and sharing this episode is the perfect way for our veterans to introduce their friends to the Electric Universe.
David Talbott returns to continue his explanation of the strange happenings surrounding our Mars Opportunity rover, and why the official explanation of the forces cleaning the rover are impossible due to the nature of Mars' atmosphere.
David Talbott, founding member of The Thunderbolts Project, comes on the show to give some perspective on one of the many mysterious things that have we've been observing during our missions to Mars. Our rovers have far exceeded what NASA ever imagined they could do, and David explains why the electrical properties of Mars can easily explain a phenomena that has left the scientific establishment scratching its head for several years now.
Thunderbolts Project founder Wal Thornhill joins us again to explain the observations of the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which confirm the predictions of his plasma model by demonstrating the electric properties of our sun's heliosphere.
Dr. Jokipii’s research concerns many areas primarily related to plasmas and the transport and acceleration of cosmic rays and energetic particles in the solar wind and in the galaxy. Major current thrusts revolve around work on the Voyager and ACE space missions, for which he and his group are guest investigators, specializing in theoretical interpretaion and modeling of the observations. Specifically, Dr. Jokipii’s group is currently in the midst of an extensive program of theoretical research into shock waves in turbulent astrophysical plasmas. This involves extensive theoretical work and three-dimensional simulations, which are exceedingly demanding of computer resources. His lecture was given on October 29, 2010.
Abstract: The Sun and its radially flowing solar wind blow a huge bubble, a few hundred AU in scale, in the interstellar medium. This results in a very complicated interaction between the resulting heliosphere and the local interstellar medium. The solar wind is a very nearly completely ionized plasma, whereas the local interstellar medium is only partly ionized, and therefore consists of both charged and neutral particles. The collision mean free paths of all species are much larger than the scale of the heliosphere, so the interactions do not involve particle-particle scattering. The ions interact via collective electromagnetic interactions and the neutrals can be ionized by solar radiation and through charge exchange with ions. his region was predicted decades ago and, recently, the two Voyager spacecraft are traversing in this region, sending back data. The IBEX (Interstellar Boundary EXplorer) mission, launched on October 19, 2008, was developed to observe this region remotely, from Earth orbit, by measuring energetic neutral atoms (ENA) resulting from the interaction with the neutral part of the Interstellar Medium. Because of the lack of collisions and the relatively high energy of the ENA, they travel on nearly straight lines, and can be used much like photons to map the sky. IBEX began sending data to ground six months after launch, and is still doing so. In spite of intensivetheoretical an modeling efforts over the past decades, much of what is observed was totally unexpected and not even hinted at in the models. The observed ENA maps, at the higher energies observed, revealed an intense "ribbon" of significantly enhanced intensity, some 15 degrees wide, encircling the solar system. This unexpected feature and other aspects of the observations have required new models and interpretations. Dr. J. Randy Jokipii is Regents' Professor, Theoretical astrophysics, space physics at the University of Arizona. Presented Oct. 29, 2010.
For more than 17 years, the joint ESA/NASA mission Ulysses studied the heliosphere (the sphere of influence of the Sun) and our local interstellar neighbourhood, providing the first-ever map of the heliosphere in the four dimensions of space and time. Ulysses was designed to last for five years but it is still returning valuable data. The mission, which takes the spacecraft over the poles of the Sun, was extended four times, allowing Ulysses to pass over the Sun’s poles for a second and third time. But like all good things, the mission is coming to an end.ESApod video programme
