An image from the Heliospheric Imager aboard NASA’s STEREO spacecraft shows the star Betelgeuse, circled. For several weeks in 2020, STEREO was the only observatory making measurements of Betelgeuse because of the spacecraft’s unique position in space.

Carmen Guerra-Garcia, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT, is the lead author of a new study analyzing the effect of wind on underground corona discharges.
