Retired University of Chicago professor and astrophysicist Eugene Parker died this week at the age of 94.
In 1962, the NASA Mariner II spacecraft flew to Venus and found a stream of particles that lined up with exactly what Parker had determined, the U of C said.
Other concepts Parker discovered and studied included the dynamo theory on the origin of magnetic fields, the rapid dissipation of magnetic fields, how magnetized shock waves are structured, and the diffusion of high-energy cosmic rays, the U of C said.
