Publish photos of the Sun's atmosphere from the nearest distance

NASA's probe vessel captures the corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun, from 27.2 million kilometers away.

NASA set a record of the artificial object closest to the Sun and captured an impressive image of the star's atmosphere on November 8, according to Fox News. Highlighting in the image is a bright brim and a small white spot near the center. This white spot is Jupiter.

Parker used a special WISPR shooting device to take photos 27.2 million kilometers from the Sun's surface. When sending data on the first solar-powered trip, the ship also broke the record of the fastest artificial objects moving in space.

In Washington DC, on December 12, scientists at the American Geophysical Association (AGU) announced and discussed new data."What we are observing is completely new, nobody has ever seen them before , " said Nour Raouafi, a Sun-based physicist, expert at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory. , said.

The Parker probe was launched into space on August 12 and will carry out 24 solar access missions in 7 years. One of its goals is to help solve the mystery of the coronary ring, understanding why it is about 300 times hotter than the surface of the Sun. The star's outer atmosphere can reach millions of degrees Celsius, while the surface or photosphere is only about 6,000 degrees Celsius. Scientists still have not fully understood the mechanism that makes this area so hot.

"We need to move in here so we can sample a new plasma, take a new form of material, and see the processes or physical phenomena going on," explained Nicola Fox, an expert at NASA. "Almost certainly we will have new findings , " Raouafi added.
