NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has just confirmed decades-old theoretical models of magnetic reconnection—the explosive process that powers solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other extreme space weather events. In a groundbreaking study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), scientists observed magnetic reconnection directly in the Sun’s upper atmosphere for the very first time. This discovery validates theories that have existed for nearly 70 years and could transform how we predict solar storms that impact satellites, communication systems, and power grids on Earth. With support from ESA’s Solar Orbiter, this breakthrough connects reconnection at Earth’s magnetosphere to massive solar scales. The findings were published in Nature Astronomy and represent a giant leap in our understanding of solar physics, space weather, and cosmic plasma processes.
