Southwest Research Institute Scientists are using data from NASA’s PUNCH mission to study the interaction between interstellar comet 3I/Atlas and the solar wind, providing insights into the comet’s composition and the interstellar medium.
The PUNCH mission, involving four small satellites, aims to observe the Sun’s corona and its transition into the solar wind over a two-year mission. This will help scientists predict space weather events and their impacts on Earth and space explorations.
