It was "like flying into the eye of a storm."first spacecraft to have "touched the SunThe tiny probe made its way through the star's upper atmosphere, taking important readings of its surroundings.
It even took the time to capture tons of images during its amazing stunt, which scientists stitched together for an incredible video with the behind a stream of highly energized particles — an unprecedentedly close and fascinating look at our star.It must have been quite the experience for the Solar Probe as it made its way through a feature of the Sun's atmosphere called a pseudostreamer, which are huge ribbon-like structures that are visible during solar eclipses..
"We see evidence of being in the corona from magnetic field data, solar wind data, and visually in white-light images," said Nour Raouafi, the Parker Solar Probe project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, in the statement. It's an amazing video — especially considering the probe was screaming through the Sun's atmosphere at over 142 kilometers per second. Now, what it discovered could change our understanding of the Sun forever.
