Historic Close-Up of the Sun
The Parker Solar Probe has achieved a remarkable milestone by capturing the closest images of the Sun ever taken. This incredible spacecraft, which is the fastest ever constructed, managed to snap these stunning images from a distance of 3.8 million miles (or 6.1 million kilometers) from the Sun’s surface at the end of last year.
These images provide scientists with unprecedented insights into our star’s atmosphere and solar activities. The Parker Solar Probe’s groundbreaking journey aims to unlock mysteries about solar winds and their impact on the solar system. By venturing closer to the Sun than any previous spacecraft, it enhances our understanding of solar phenomena that can affect Earth.
