Spatial variation of energy transport mechanisms within solar flare ribbons
Details of the observations
For the Major Flare Campaign, SPICE observed in sit-and-stare mode using the 4″ slit, capturing several wavelength windows in both the short-wavelength (SW; 70.4–79.0 nm) and long-wavelength (LW;…

Supermassive black holes in all galaxies? Maybe not
View larger. | In recent decades, we’ve come to understand most large galaxies as having central supermassive black holes. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has one. And the similarly sized galaxy NGC 6278, on the left, has one. But a new study of… Continue Reading
