A long-standing mystery of the sun has baffled scientists for decades: Why is the atmosphere of the sun so much hotter than its surface? While the temperature of the surface is about 6000 K, the sun’s outer atmosphere—known as the corona—can heat up to millions of kelvins. High–spatial resolution observations are critical for understanding the solar atmosphere and the physical processes that lead to coronal heating.

The field of paleoclimatology studies the climates from past geologic ages, before the invention of meteorological instruments. Similar to the way that paleontologists study fossils to gain insight into the prehistoric past, paleoclimatologists use environmental evidence such as ice cores to reconstruct Earth’s climate history. Researchers in China and the United States have developed an all-optical method for radiometric dating of ice samples up to 1.5 million years old (Nat.
