2026 Space Exploration Forum
2026 Space Exploration Forum
NASA's Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere, or PUNCH mission, was launched out of Vandenberg Space Force Base last March. The constellation of four small satellites in low-Earth orbit are now making global, 3D observations of the sun's outer atmosphere as it transitions into the solar wind that fills the solar system. PUNCH Project Scientist Sarah Gibson will be showing PUNCH's mosaic view that fills half our sky with effervescent flows and dynamic eruptions and connects the sun, solar wind, and earth as never before. Come learn about the huge eruptions from the sun that drive the recent auroras.
