When Corona Sun is turned off, the Corona Sky map previously loaded in the Corona Environment is the only light source. At 7 million to 10 million kilometers above the sun's surface, we reach the corona, the outermost layer of the sun. On - enables or disables the Corona Sun object. 'Such measurements from the corona will be critical for understanding and forecasting extreme space weather events that can disrupt telecommunications and damage satellites around Earth,' NASA wrote. Changing the Corona Sun disk position affects both the shadows and the Corona Sky color, while the intensity of the sun does not change. The next close pass will happen in January 2022, when scientists will try to determine exactly how switchbacks and other solar phenomena form. The probe has not only made the closest-ever pass by the sun, it's traveling at the greatest speed of any manmade object ever, currently around 430,000 MPH. Specifically, they found that some types of 'fast' switchbacks form in the magnetic funnels created between convection cells on the sun's surface. It detected bursts of switchbacks as it passed closer to the sun, and scientists were able to trace those back to the visible surface. It also made observations that may helped scientists figure out where 'switchbacks,' or kinks in the solar wind form. A coronagraph is a specialized instrument designed to block out the light of the sun so that researchers can glimpse the burning star's hot, thin, outermost layer, called the corona.
