The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is designed to gain new insights into how the Sun's atmosphere, or corona, becomes the solar wind, how the solar wind develops as it traverses the inner heliosphere, and what impacts this evolving space weather has on the rest of the solar system. This article explains the PUNCH mission and is connected to resources that help educators explain concepts in simple, engaging ways for K-12 students.
