Astronomy Picture of the Day (Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun)
If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASAβs Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun. The video captures coronal streamers into the solar wind, a small Coronal Mass Ejection, and planets including, in order of appearance, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Between the emergence of Earth and Mars, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS appears with a distinctive tail. The continuous fleeting streaks are high energy particles from the Sun impacting Parkerβs sideways looking camera. The featured time-lapse video was taken last year during Encounter 21, Parkerβs 21st close approach to the Sun. Studying data and images from Parker are delivering a better understanding of the dynamic Sunβs effects on Earthβs space weather as well as humanityβs power grids, spacecraft, and space-faring astronauts.
