Solar Physics a journal for solar and solar-stellar research and the study of solar terrestrial physics. It was founded in 1967 by solar physicist Cornelis de Jager and publisher D. Reidel. The journal treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution, to outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. The journal is published monthly by Springer and is printed in the Netherlands. Twice a year double issues are printed. The current editors are Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi, John Leibacher, and Takashi Sakurai. Like most research journals in the astronomy field, Solar Physics is also available online. Solar Physics has an impact factor of 2.774 (2008).
There's a mystery happening in some satellites facing the sun, and scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) are on the case. The ...
