[QUOTE="Opmmur, post: 58277, member: 13"] [SIZE=4]Four decades of active research and debate by the solar physics community have failed to bring consensus on what drives the sun's powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can have profound “space weather” effects on Earth-based power grids and satellites in near-Earth geospace. [/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Now, an international team of space scientists, including a researcher from the University of New Hampshire’s Space Science Center (SSC) explain the mysterious physical mechanisms underlying the origin of CMEs.
