The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, announced Wednesday 9 March a total solar eclipse will be recorded, during which he will carry out an experiment in Indonesia.
“the atmosphere of the Sun is where physics is interesting,” said space scientist Nelson Reginald from the Center Goddard space Flight, NASA, Greenbelt, Maryland.
on what will be the experiment?
the Nasa said the team will use three minutes of the eclipse to examine the polarized light from inner corona of the Sun, “light containing information on the temperature and speed of the electrons “.
“The light is polarized when its electric field oscillates along an axis, for example, from top to bottom or side to side,” he said.
“Unlike powder mainly electrons scatter polarized light, which means that the isolation of polarized light can provide information on the temperature and flow rate coronal electrons, “he said the body.
the polarized light scattered by these electrons dominates in the regions of the crown closer to the solar surface, total solar eclipses are the” best opportunity to gather this information. “
