Tracing Solar Storms in 3D: New Insights from Solar Orbiter
January 31, 2025

The researchers Associate Professor Tatiana Podladchikova and PhD student Shantanu Jain from the Space Weather Laboratory (Skoltech Center for Digital Engineering) together with their colleagues published the paper “Three-part structure of a solar coronal mass ejection observed in low coronal signatures of Solar Orbiter” in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics”.

With the groundbreaking Solar Orbiter mission, we captured the earliest signs of a solar eruption, uncovering how a coronal mass ejection (CME) forms, evolves, and hurtles through space toward Earth or other planets. Using our novel ATLAS-3D method, we achieved 3D views from a single line-of-sight, enabling advanced reconstructions of CME paths. These insights deepen our understanding of solar storms and their impact on space weather.
