Imaging the Invisible: How PUNCH and Eclipses Reveal the Solar Wind in 3D

During a total solar eclipse, the hidden solar corona becomes visible, but only for a few fleeting minutes. NASA’s PUNCH mission builds on this natural experiment, using polarized imaging to reconstruct the 3D structure of the solar wind as it expands from the Sun to Earth and beyond. Join us to see how we are learning to “image the invisible” and better understand the space environment that surrounds our planet.
