Researchers on Wednesday described the first published findings from the Parker Solar Probe, a spacecraft launched in 2018 to journey closer to the sun than any other human-made object. The findings, offering fresh details about how the sun spawns space weather, are reshaping astronomers understanding of violent solar wind that can hamper satellites and electronics on Earth. The probe eventually will travel within about 4 million miles (6 million km) from the suns surface, seven times closer than any previous spacecraft. The probe has endured extreme heat while flying through the outermost part of the suns atmosphere, called the solar corona, that gives rise to solar wind - the hot, energized, charged particles that stream outward from the Sun and fill the solar system. They carry a tremendous amount of energy.This will dramatically change our theories for how the corona and solar wind are being heated, Kasper added.
