The Parker Solar Probe has achieved the impossible

The Parker Solar Probe has been studying the Sun for several years and has already provided us with a wealth of information about it. The ship achieved something new that had not been achieved in the past. This is made possible by being in the right place at the right time. Scientists are happy.

The sun generates flares from time to time. They escape from its surface Coronal mass ejection (CME), the interior of which cannot be seen directly from Earth. However, the Parker Solar Probe did just that, and thus it was carried out successfully The first observations of this kind in history.

The spacecraft was in the right place and I was able to see the coronal mass ejection inside it. During the flight, data was collected using a camera WISPR (Wide-field imaging of the Parker Solar Probe). For scientists, they are an extremely valuable source of knowledge. In the recording from the probe Some swirls can be seen. What is this? Scientists call this phenomenon Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI).
