science

NASA Science reports a fresh audio interview with Dr. Karel Schrijver, a veteran heliophysicist who helped shape our grasp of solar magnetism. He points to the STEREO mission’s multi‑view observations of the Sun in the late 2000s, and the rare sight of a comet diving into the solar corona before the Parker Solar Probe launch, as pivotal moments for space‑weather research. Schrijver wraps up by noting that space weather is a universal phenomenon, offering lessons that reach far beyond our own star.
