NASA’s Illuminate: CODEX Begins Decoding the Solar Wind

NASA’s Coronal Diagnostic Experiment, or CODEX, has just delivered its first images — and they’re stunning! Mounted on the exterior of the International Space Station, CODEX is a solar coronagraph designed to block out bright light from the Sun to reveal our star’s outer atmosphere, or corona. This mission gives scientists an unprecedented look at solar dynamics right from low Earth orbit. Watch the video to see these amazing images and find out what makes CODEX so unique!
