For the second time in a few weeks, we’re writing about research into the temperature gap between the Sun’s surface and its corona. More and more data from various missions continue to feed this wave of discovery. A new paper by Katariina Nykyri of Embry-Riddle, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, adds to this growing body of work. She argues that millions of tiny whirlpools scattered across the Sun’s surface could be the energetic engine driving that temperature difference. Earlier this year, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), located atop Haleakalā on Maui, took extremely high resolution images of the Sun’s surface. For the first time, scientists could make out whirlpools of plasma, a few dozen kilometers across, dotted around the Sun’s surface. When this research was published in August, Dr. Nykyri had a bit of a “Eureka!” moment, according to a press release from the University. Her research had focused on Kelvin-Helmholtz waves. On Earth, these are most commonly seen in broken ocean swells or ripple-pattern clouds. However, they are also present elsewhere in the solar system, driving gas patterns on Jupiter. On the Sun, they occur when fast-moving plasma passes slower, magnetized plasma. They contain an...

Photospheric Kelvin–Helmholtz Vortices as Possible Drivers of Coronal Heating: Implications of the DKIST Observations, Nykyri, Katariina

Atlantic High School principal and instructors described a new aerospace academy that offers FAA-certified flight simulators, dual enrollment with Embry-Riddle, industry certifications and pathways that have already produced private pilot credentials among students.

Junior striker Callum Stokes, from Reading, England, assisted Flagler College's first goal in a 2-1 win over Embry-Riddle (FL) on 21 October.

The Cottonwood Airport Commission told city council it has restored an 800-foot traffic pattern and secured an agreement from Embry Riddle to reduce repetitive touch-and-go training from four aircraft to three; staff and the airport manager said complaints have fallen but noise remains a concern in some neighborhoods.

The Arizona women’s basketball team cruised to a 117-44 victory over Embry-Riddle in its exhibition opener. The Wildcats also added a new player to their roster.
