Text: Dr. Kyuhyoun Cho is a research scientist at the SETI Institute and Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics who studies our closest star: the Sun. His research explores how magnetic fields and plasma interact in the Sun's atmosphere, helping scientists better understand solar activity and the forces that drive space weather. Background: Starry night sky with graphics of a star and exoplanets in front of it.
Text: Dr. Cho also helps develop next-generation solar observatories, including CODEX and MUSE, to reveal how the Sun's atmosphere is heated, how the solar wind forms, and how energy moves through the solar corona. His work brings us closer to understanding the dynamic star that makes life on Earth possible. Background: Starry night sky with graphics of a star and exoplanets.

We caught an ocean of plasma waves “breaking” on the Sun You've seen the newest pictures from DKIST: of fluid instabilities on the Sun. Now watch the animations, and see how exquisitely observations and simulations match! bigthink.com/starts-with-... #sun #heliophysics #DKIST #astro #space

With the National Solar Observatory's incredible DKIST, we see the Sun in the highest resolution ever. Its latest images blew us all away.
