Good morning, Y'all! Hope all of you are having a wonderful morning like her, or evening depending on where you are or when you are watching or listening!

Every action you take makes it possible for more listeners and viewers to get a chance to choose Collision Course as a great source of outer space news that they can relate to! So, thank you in advance for that follow, like, comment, or answer! THANK YOU! We're already at lucky episode 13! This episode brings back Marco Velli to talk about the dynamics around the Sun and the Parker Solar Probe mission Parker Solar Probe (jhuapl.edu) in particular. I enjoyed being able to ask some questions that did not relate to the Parker Solar Probe but were relevant to understand the role that plasmas play in our Universe. I really enjoyed being able to hear that in his view, the Universe was working like I had believed too. Mass and rotation are the main driver of the way bodies in the Universe behave, but minus mass and rotation, you are left with energized electromagnetic space that is channeling energy along magnetic field lines and boundaries which can accelerate anergy at very high levels or at least propel them extreme distances. Today the Parker Solar Probe is on the other side of the Sun heading toward Venus. It will use a tug backward from Venus to drop it in to an even lower orbit with the Sun. Each new perihelion closer than the last, new territory with each, new orbit around our star. The mission continues. January 10,2023 it was announced in a paper that some of the science that has been extracted from the data from an assortment of missions including the Parker Solar Probe are the introduction of the phrase "Jetlets" to describe an activity which can, when combined with an overall activity level across the whole surface of the sun, an activity which interacts with the solar corona and is able to accelerate particles up and through the corona.  As well as that, there recognition of enormous waves of energy. "Switchbacks" that curl like a whip or a road that traverses the highest mountain. back and forth up the same hillside until you get to the top... When released they can express energy at extreme speed and can cover a lot of the corona at one time. The notion that acceleration of particles was a one-off event which accelerated all the particles at once is now a misnomer and it should be seen more as an ebb and flow that maintains the energetic side of our closest star. I want to thank Professor Velli for his time. Anything that I can add to the discussion is an addition that can help others understand the topic too. #ParkerSolarProbe #Sun #astronomy #science #fyp #interview #MarcoVelli If You Would Like to Support the Show, you can use send a tip to my ($) Cashapp or my (@) Venmo!
