Helios

**Helios** is an interactive educational simulation that visualizes **solar magnetic reconnection**—a fundamental plasma physics process in which magnetic field lines break, reconnect, and release stored magnetic energy. Designed to make this complex astrophysical phenomenon more accessible, Helios combines real-time interaction with scientific visualization to provide an engaging learning experience.

Users can explore the relationship between magnetic fields, plasma, and energy through interactive controls, animated magnetic field lines, live simulation metrics, and a real-time energy graph. Rather than presenting static information, Helios encourages hands-on exploration, helping users better understand the physical principles governing the Sun's plasma environment.

Built using **HTML, CSS, and JavaScript**, Helios is based on core concepts from electromagnetism and plasma physics, including the Lorentz force, magnetic pressure, magnetic energy density, and magnetic flux. The project presents these principles through simplified physical models and interactive visualization, making them easier to understand while remaining scientifically grounded. It is intended as an educational simulation and does not perform full magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical modeling.

Helios aims to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and interactive learning by transforming complex scientific concepts into an intuitive and visually immersive experience.
