To Unfold Solar Mysteries, NASA Announces Two New Missions

In an effort to understand the dynamics of the sun and the constantly changing space environment, NASA has announced two new science missions. This comes just a day after the space agency announced the latest observations done by the Parker Solar probe on its way to the sun. Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) and HelioSwarm missions will help understand the dynamics of the Sun, the Sun-Earth connection, and the constantly changing space environment. Thomas Zurbuchen, Nasa’s associate administrator for science, in a statement, said, “MUSE and HelioSwarm will provide new and deeper insight into the solar atmosphere and space weather. These missions not only extend the science of our other heliophysics missions but they also provide a unique perspective and a novel approach to understanding the mysteries of our star.”
