Sometimes the sun spits out high-energy particles which slam into the Earth, potentially disrupting our sensitive electronics. New research has found that these particles originate in the plasma of the sun itself, and are trapped there by strong magnetic fields. When those fields weaken, the particles blast out.
The sun constantly emits all sorts of nastiness, like ultraviolet radiation and a stream of solar wind particles. Sometimes it has violent episodes, releasing massive solar flares and coronal…
