NASA 's Parker Solar Probe has solved the "coronal heating mystery" of the sun's outer atmosphere.

The corona is hundreds of times hotter than its "surface" than its photosphere, which is millions of miles closer to the sun.

The probe's data showed switchbacks are a common occurrence in the solar wind near the sun, not at the surface.

Scientists think there could still be a trigger mechanism that contributes heat to the corona.
