The Parker Solar Probe recently made its closest pass of the Sun—just 3.8 million miles away, while traveling at 430,000 mph. Data from the probe is offering new insights into how solar wind is generated, coronal heating, and how coronal mass ejections are created. The spacecraft’s FIELDS instrument can eavesdrop on the electric and magnetic fluctuations caused by plasma waves, which scientists can then re-pitch into a frequency humans can hear. Now you can hear what it's like to nearly touch th

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
