Eugene Parker predicted the solar wind's existence in 1958 and Mariner spacecraft confirmed its existence in 1962 .

The fastest solar wind rushes by at speeds of over 310 miles ( 500 kilometers ) per second .

Researchers haven't been able to figure out how the wind gets enough energy to achieve that speed.

Scientists used Parker to measure solar wind near the sun's magnetic field.

Many other stars have stellar winds that carry their material out into space.

Learning about stellar wind could tell researchers more about the habitability of exoplanets.

Understanding the physics of our local star's solar wind also helps us understand stellar wind in other systems, say scientists.
