flag Scientists solved how solar rain forms by updating models to include changing element levels, enabling accurate simulations of rapid cooling after solar flares.

flag Researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have solved the mystery of solar rain, where cooler plasma blobs fall from the Sun’s corona after flares. flag By allowing elemental abundances like iron to vary over time—challenging long-held assumptions—their models now accurately simulate rapid cooling and rain formation in minutes, not hours. flag This breakthrough improves understanding of coronal heating and could enhance space weather predictions affecting satellites, communications, and power grids.
