NASA’s PUNCH Mission: A 3D View of Solar Storms

Narration: Madhulika Guhathakurta

Transcript:

PUNCH is giving us something really unique, it's 3D tracking of solar storms all the way to Earth, and it does it with polarized brightness.

It is like the way we use sunglasses to reduce glare by getting light from different angles.

The polarized map from PUNCH will give us with great accuracy, location and shape of the solar storms, how they evolve and travel to Earth and it is essential for predicting space weather associated phenomena.
