Short Story Mars To Boy

Space is a strange foreign place that has many mysteries. Humans have looked up at the stars in awe and wonder for as long as we can remember. We dreamt of traveling to space and exploring our universe. We search to see if we are alone in this universe or if there is life elsewhere in the universe. With all these hopes and dreams about space, we still haven’t fully mastered space travel and don’t fully understand the universe. “Mars to Boy” is a short story following a young man, by the name of Nikola, following these dreams. However, this story also explores the idea that as humans we have traveled to and begun colonizing mars. But we don’t want to stop there. After multiple years at mars and mastering travel between the two, a team of scientists
The sun obviously. But that doesn’t fully answer exactly where they come from or how they occur. The sun is very large but can be categorized into areas. The major one that is most related to solar winds is the Corona, the outermost area of the sun (). This is where the transition occurs for the charged bundles of plasma to become what we consider solar wind (). Most of the plasma in the sun is extremely hot and contains enough energy to escape the sun’s gravity (). This is how solar wind occurs for the most part. Solar winds have been categorized into two categories, slow solar wind, and fast solar wind (). The major difference between them is their composition, or number of electrons and charged particles, and speed (). However, another major difference is how they are formed in the sun. Scientists have come to learn that slow solar wind appears to be created from a process known as magnetic reconnection (). In layman’s terms this is a process where two magnetic fields come together and push each other away in different directions (). Scientists have studied slow solar wind using tools and have seen distinct patterns that lead them to believe that magnetic reconnection is how slow solar wind is formed
