NASA Just Discovered Solar Curtains on the Sun—Here’s How This Plasma Spectacle Forms

NASA’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope has captured “solar curtains”—ultra-thin plasma structures on the Sun just 12–20 kilometers wide. These stripes reveal how small-scale magnetic fields evolve, influencing solar flares and space weather. Scientists also observed microflares—tiny explosions of energy—that could unlock mysteries like coronal heating. This discovery could revolutionize solar forecasting and safeguard Earth’s technology from space storms.
