Many we already know about the universe. Strange, is not that there are still many mysteries yet to be revealed. Strange but true! One of the biggest mysteries in astronomy, however, lies the closest star Earth: our Sun!
Do not let the nickname "giant stone balls" on Earth, and in the same way do not give him the nickname "giant fireball" to the sun. Just like a mountain on Earth, the Sun's surface is also covered by a variety of interesting features. And just like the Earth, the Sun also has atmosphere. His name, Korona.
Sun's corona great mystery in astronomy. To be able to understand the mystery of it, try to imagine the fire that comes out of the ice. A similar effect, occurs in the sun.
Nuclear combustion in the Sun's core heats up to temperatures of 15 million degrees. But when the heat reaches the surface of the sun, the temperature is cooler to 6,000 degrees. However, temperatures in the solar corona that just jumped more than 1 million degrees. How come?
The increase in temperature extremes and unexpected it was just confusing scientists for over 70 years. But astronomers are getting closer to finding the answer.
Astronomers know that the Sun has a magnetic meda, like Earth and the magnet was stuck on the fridge. And this magnet has a very important role in this mystery. But the million dollar question is: How meda magnetic creates heat?
One of the possible answers are: wave. Astronomers saw the emergence of waves on the Sun's magnetic field. Wave is alleged to add energy in the corona as well as the encouragement given to swing to swing you higher!
