Here are the closest pictures of the sun that I took at all

Eve Christmas last year, Parker solar probe in NASA Made the history of Space Force, Flying next to the sun at a record distance From only 3.8 million miles (6.12 million km) of the solar surface.

During Flyby, Parker took some images close to the sun, which finally NASA Absolute For the public yesterday. The photos taken by the investigation A broad field for solar energyOr Wispr, providing an unusual vision for sunscreen, which are equipped with raging solar winds.

The shots pick up a special interesting moment in a particularly weather of solar weather, in which one or multiple of coronary blocks (CMES) – the charged molecules that affect the space weather – are not shown in the vicinity of the magnetic field of the sun.

“In these pictures, we see Cmes accumulate mainly on top of each other,” said Angelos Forlidas, an engineer involved in WisPR at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics. “We use this to learn how to combine Cmes together, which can be important for space weather.”

New images also provide a high -resolution vision of solar wind activity, which NASA is likely to use to refine the capabilities of satellite weather.

“We have transferred Parker Solar Probe again to the dynamic atmosphere of our closest star,” said Nikki Fox, Assistant Officer, The Science Mission Directorate at the NASA headquarters. “This new data will help us to improve our spatial predictions significantly to ensure the safety of our astronauts and protect our technology here on Earth and all over the solar system.”

“The data that will decrease from the spacecraft will be new information about a place where we were not, as humanity,” said Joe Weutkect, director of the Hillavosia Department of NASA, in A. Release Posted after Flyby last year.

The next great teacher will happen to Parker later this year on September 15, when the probe is with another pass. With every new orbit, Parker steadily reveals many unknown properties of the sun. All Flyby is a reminder of the extent that we still do not know about our host star – yes, at the same time, a reminder of our arrival.
