Signatures of the wind are consistent with a single ionized outflow, ... For a disk inclination of 60° the absorption layer needs to extend from about 5R g to 10R g to give an observed line at 8. ...

Incidental to the observations which we have made, evidence has been obtained of the reflection of atmospherics at an ionized layer. Nature - Reflection of Atmospherics at an Ionised Layer.

Scientists have released the closest images ever to the sun, captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flying 3.8 million miles ...

While the Sun appears placid to the naked eye, it is a roiling sphere of ionized gas or plasma, shaped by powerful magnetic fields.

¶At night the two top layers, F¹, and F², merge into one. ¶The top layer, F², is “strongly heated” where the sun enters it vertically. From that point winds of heat-expanded air blow out ...

But the total solar eclipse will also have imperceptible effects, such as the sudden loss of extreme ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, which generates the ionized layer of Earth's atmosphere ...

One of the less familiar aspects of both planets is that they possess an ionosphere — a layer of ionized (electrically charged) particles — in their upper atmospheres.

High-frequency TV waves have long been considered undependable at more than line-of-sight distances, i.e., from transmitter to horizon. They punch through the ionosphere (ionized layers in the ...
