A lot of forces are at play on the humble baseball -- not just the pitcher's arm or the hitter's bat

How does a fielder know where to plant himself to catch a fly ball? It's all about physics.

Ever wonder why pitchers go through those strange contortions to throw the ball?

These images from Sept. 13-15, 2020, show comet SOHO-4063 as it approaches the Sun, seen by ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Comet SOHO-4063 was later detected in data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Credit: ESA/NASA/SOHO/Naval Research Lab/Brendan Gallagher

These images were captured by the X-ray Telescope, or XRT, aboard the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's and NASA’s Hinode spacecraft. XRT watches the Sun in X-rays, a high-energy type of light that reveals the extremely hot material in the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona. These images from XRT were captured on Jan. 17, 2021, when Parker Solar Probe was closest to the Sun during its seventh orbit. Scientists can use XRT’s images with Parker Solar Probe’s direct measurements of the environment around the Sun to better understand how the Sun’s corona could drive changes in the space environment farther away from the Sun.
