NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is no stranger to breaking records. On Dec. 24, 2024, Parker made history by flying closer to the sun than any spacecraft in history. The probe reached a distance of just 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) from the solar surface, entering the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere, known as the corona. During this flyby, …

3 On Dec. 24, 2024, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe traveled closer to the Sun than any spacecraft had before. During this close approach, or perihelion, the spacecraft’s four instruments observed the Sun’s atmosphere from inside. This week, NASA released images collected by the spacecraft’s Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) instrument. Since the close approach in late 2024, Parker Solar …

From one perspective, the Sun is a benevolent orb of plasma and its warmth makes Earth habitable and has kept if habitable for billions of years, allowing complex things like human beings to evolve. From another perspective, it’s a malevolent orb that sends deadly UV radiation our way, and sometimes erupts and hurls massive blobs of plasma toward Earth. The …

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made history with the closest-ever approach to the sun last December, and we’re finally getting a look at some of the images it captured. The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker’s Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun’s corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing …
