Puzzle Page #6: Coronium
Today’s Puzzle Answer: Coronium During the 1869 total solar eclipse, astronomers Charles Augustus Young and William Harkness observed an unusual green emission line in the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere. The scientists suspected they had found a new element, which they named “coronium,” after its discovery site in the Sun’s corona. Seventy years later, physicist […]
Puzzle Page #5: Heliosphere
Today’s Puzzle Answer: Heliosphere Far, far beyond the orbits of the planets, the linings of a nebulous magnetic bubble form the boundaries of our solar system. Inside those linings is the heliosphere, the region of space carved out by our Sun’s magnetic field and inflated by the constant outflow of the solar wind. Outside it […]

Puzzle Page #4: 33
Today’s Puzzle Answer: 33 During its encounter with the Sun on Dec. 24, 2024, Parker Solar Probe will be traveling about 430,000 mph—fast enough to get from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia in about one second, or from the Earth to the Moon in about 33 minutes. During the encounter it will break its own record, […]
Hubble Spies a Cosmic Eye
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 2566, which sits 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis. A prominent bar of stars stretches across the center of this galaxy, and spiral arms emerge from each end of the bar. Because NGC 2566 appears tilted from our perspective, its disk takes […]
