Nasa to launch PUNCH Sun mission to recreate solar eclipse - Four suitcase-sized satellites could revolutionise our understanding of space weather

PUNCH's main goal is to study how the Sun's corona transforms into solar wind, a stream of charged particles that flows through our solar system. What makes the PUNCH mission special is that it is specifically aimed at bridging the gap between solar physics and solar wind physics.

Scheduled to launch on Feb. 27, NASA's PUNCH mission could revolutionize space weather forecasts, unify the solar corona and the heliosphere, and help improve astronomy techniques.

NASA’s PUNCH mission will explore the connection between the sun’s corona and the solar wind using 3D imaging.

NASA is preparing to launch PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere), a groundbreaking mission that will use four satellites to study the solar wind in 3D. The mission, set to launch on February 27 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket,
