American Geophysical Union

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of Earth, atmospheric, ocean, hydrologic, space, and planetary scientists and enthusiasts that according to their website includes 130,000 people (not members).

Bow shock

In astrophysics, a bow shock occurs when the magnetosphere of an astrophysical object interacts with the nearby flowing ambient plasma such as the solar wind.

See Antoinette Galvin and Bow shock

Coronal mass ejection

A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a significant ejection of magnetic field and accompanying plasma mass from the Sun's corona into the heliosphere.

European Space Agency

The European Space Agency (ESA) is a 22-member intergovernmental body devoted to space exploration.

Heliophysics

Heliophysics (from the prefix "helio", from Attic Greek hḗlios, meaning Sun, and the noun "physics": the science of matter and energy and their interactions) is the physics of the Sun and its connection with the Solar System.

See Antoinette Galvin and Heliophysics

Heliosphere

The heliosphere is the magnetosphere, astrosphere, and outermost atmospheric layer of the Sun.

High-energy nuclear physics

High-energy nuclear physics studies the behavior of nuclear matter in energy regimes typical of high-energy physics.

Physics

Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.

Solar wind

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the Sun's outermost atmospheric layer, the corona.
