    Neon in the Sun

    NASA's Chandra Neon Discovery Solves Solar Paradox

    NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory survey of nearby sun-like stars suggests there is nearly three times more neon in the sun and local universe than previously believed. If true, this would solve a critical problem with understanding how the sun works.
