You’re looking at the closest-ever images of the Sun. Taken by our Parker Solar Probe during a close flyby, they show the solar wind racing out from the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona. Images and data from this mission are helping scientists better understand the Sun’s influence across the solar system, including events that can affect Earth. https://go.nasa.gov/4kA9vSO | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

We're flying so close to the Sun, we're flying through the gasses in its atmosphere. ☀️🛰 Learn more about the Parker Solar Probe and stream How The Universe Works on discovery . 📲 links.discoveryplus.com/howtheuniverseworks | Science Channel

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. 🛰☀️ This movie shows data from the WISPR instrument on Parker Solar Probe.
