ERNE : Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron Experiment
(ERNE)
Lots of different nuclei (the plural of nucleus) are thrown into the
solar wind whenever there is
solar flare. This experiment
looks for these particles. This
tells us about what causes
these solar flare explosions.
It is also being used to answer questions about
cosmic rays.
