Parker Solar Probe photographs Sun's ejections closely

abc.net.au

NASA has released unprecedented images of the Sun, captured by the Parker Solar Probe, revealing massive ejections of solar material. These images offer scientists a new perspective on solar activity. The images, taken during the probe's closest approach to the Sun in December, show coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in high detail. The probe passed within 6.2 million kilometers, providing the clearest view of the Sun's corona to date. The data will help improve space weather predictions, crucial for protecting technology and astronauts. Severe solar weather can disrupt communications, damage power grids, and threaten satellites, impacting life on Earth.
