| They are weaker than cosmic and galactic rays, and tend to get buffeted around like clouds of manic dandelion spores on the solar wind. |
| The atoms become ionized by the sun's ultraviolet radiation and are then accelerated to enormous energies by the solar wind. |
| It has long been known to the astronomical community that the fast solar wind comes from coronal holes. |
| We used this same technique when the instrument measuring the solar wind speed was still working. |
| The ion and electron monitors were turned on several months ago in preparation for their role during solar wind collection. |
| Parker also showed how the solar wind would carry the solar magnetic field into interplanetary space. |
