The solar wind is a remarkable stream of charged particles flowing outward from the Sun, extending beyond the planets into a vast region called the heliosphere. This flow of plasma holds the key to understanding the origin, evolution, and potential habitability of stellar systems. While spacecraft like NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter have given us a front-row seat to observe the Sun’s activity, the puzzle of how the solar wind evolves as it expands into space remains a challenging and fascinating area of study.
