How A NASA Probe Solved a Scorching Solar Mystery

https://d2r55xnwy6nx47.cloudfront.net/uploads/2024/04/Heliophysics-crJamesOBrien-Lede-scaled.webp
The Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, has collected data that shows how small-scale magnetic activity within the solar atmosphere heats the corona. The sun's magnetic engine, called the solar dynamo, drives solar activity, which waxes and wanes over periods of roughly 11 years. The Parker Solar Probe has found that magnetic fields at small scales are responsible for coronal heating.

Acyclic graphs can be represented in relational algebra expressions. let bindings and datalog allow self-reference to be introduced in recursive ways. if we want to write out each edge explicitly, we can go all the way to how something like datalog works. but this isn't really 'datalog,' it's just another way of thinking about graph construction based on trees - scott mc
