NASA Missions Make Unprecedented Map of Sun’s Magnetic Field

The chromosphere remains the most mysterious of the Sun’s atmospheric layers. Sandwiched between the bright surface and the ethereal solar corona, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the chromosphere is a place of rapid change, where temperature rises and magnetic fields begin to dominate the Sun’s behavior. Now, for the first time, a triad of NASA missions have peered into the chromosphere to return multi-height measurements of its magnetic field.
