The Astrophysical Journal
In the mid-1950s, Parker developed the theory on the supersonic solar wind and predicted the Parker spiral shape of the solar magnetic field in the outer Solar System. His theoretical modeling was not immediately accepted by the astronomical community. In fact, when he submitted the results to "The Astrophysical Journal", two reviewers rejected it. The editor of the "Astrophysical Journal", Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, overruled the reviewers and published the paper. His models were resoundingly verified by satellite observations a few years later, especially the 1962 Mariner 2 mission.
