The enduring mystery of the solar corona

Physics World

It was a bold claim and some researchers initially struggled to accept the implications because it meant that energy must be flowing from the “cool” 6000 K surface of the Sun into the hotter corona – seemingly in violation of thermodynamics. This estimate was later revised upwards to 10 6 K and above. Calculations and observation.

New Study Finds Low Awareness Among Ontarians About Eco-friendly Technologies that can Cut Energy Bills

Enviromental Defense

To increase awareness in Ontario about eco-friendly solutions like heat pumps, electric stoves, solar panels and more, Environmental Defence is launching #MyGreenFlags. Just 34 per cent of Ontarians have heard about electric heat pumps and know what they do. Ontario residents clearly want more clean electricity, and quickly.
