New month, new science! The IMAP mission began science operations on Feb. 1. IMAP will explore and map the boundaries of our heliosphere — the protective bubble created by the solar wind that encapsulates our solar system. | NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

Scientists, for the first time, have imaged the edge of the sun and revealed origins of solar wind. Using one of our solar observatories, we can now have a global picture of solar wind evolution. Take a look: http://go.nasa.gov/2c8dQgc | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
