UANL scientists confirm that the information generated by NASA’s Parker probe will enable new views of outer space
Researcher Solar energy expert Assigned to the National Space Weather Laboratory located in the graduate program of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (FCFM) at UANL, I agree that the information disclosed test Parker, in orbit since 2018, will revolutionize the study of the Sun, a star that little is known about.
dr.. Esmeralda Romero Hernandez, researcher who focuses on analyzing Effects of solar activity In a planetary environment directly on Earth, Dr. Enrique Perez Leon, a researcher in processes generated in the atmosphere by the Sun, said in an interview that this historical fact is Watersheds for solar physicists From the world.
NASA reports that for the first time a spacecraft has reached the sun, the news is celebrated by the international scientific community, given that there are many Questions about solar activity. This was explained by Romero Hernandez, Member of the Level One National System of National Scholars (SNI). test Parker has not yet reached the minimum distance he will achieve with respect to the Sun and it will be in January when he is at 15 solar radii.
“It would be very close if we consider Earth at about 215 solar radii, by comparing this distance; (in solar physics) there are many unknown aspects of the particle accelerator process, known as the solar wind, which is a continuous stream of charged particles emitted from the sun.”

He added, there are patches of solar wind that have been mapped and have different origins. However, the physics behind the acceleration that these particles have is still unknown.
Solar Studies at UANL
Enrique Perez-Leon explains that UANL is interested in a comprehensive study of all the effects the Sun has on Earth’s magnetosphere and telecommunications, from substations from solar flares, to disturbances caused by magnetic storms and ultimately power outages. .
