...a stream of high-energy charged particles from the sun travelling faster than the speed of sound.

Do they teach reporters absolutely nothing about the fields they cover?

If a tree falls in space and no one is around, does it make a sound? ;)

of course there’s no sound in space.
I assume the writer is trying to use a comparison re: speed and he’s off the mark a little bit.
the solar wind propels the particles at approx 240 miles per second.
the speed of sound @ 100 miles out from earth is approx 280 miles per second.
