Detailed explanation-1: -The NASA SunRISE mission, which stands for the Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment, is an upcoming mission expected to launch in 2024 to study and pinpoint how giant bursts of energetic particles originate from the Sun and evolve as they expand outward into space.

Detailed explanation-2: -NASA’s Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) mission will send a fleet of six, toaster oven-sized SmallSats into Earth orbit to work together as one radio telescope to investigate radio waves coming from the Sun. By doing this, SunRISE will help scientists better understand space weather events.

Detailed explanation-3: -NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the agency’s successor to the famous Hubble telescope, launched on Dec. 25, 2021 on a mission to study the earliest stars and peer back farther into the universe’s past than ever before.

Detailed explanation-4: -Raouafi expects the high level of solar activity to continue through Parker’s science encounter, which included a close approach of just 5.3 million miles (8.5 million kilometers) from the Sun, at is 364, 652 miles per hour (586, 850 kilometers per hour).

Detailed explanation-5: -What is Parker Solar Probe? NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is on a mission to “touch the Sun.” The spacecraft is flying closer to the Sun’s surface than any spacecraft before it. The mission will revolutionize our understanding of the Sun. Parker will fly more than seven times closer to the Sun than any spacecraft.
