Project Description:

This poster explores the Sun’s 11-year solar cycles, magnetic fields, and immense gravity to explain planetary orbits and cosmic evolution. Discover how coronal mass ejections, sunspots, and the electromagnetic spectrum demonstrate the Sun’s power as a massive ball of churning plasma. The imagery focuses on studying how solar energy and gravity shape the formation and environments of rocky planets like Earth and Mars, and ultimately how NASA Heliophysics encompasses much more than just the study of our Sun.
