What did Parker Solar Probe achieve?
One of the major goals for the Parker Solar Probe mission is to fly through the solar corona and we are doing that now. Parker Solar Probe is touching the Sun.
What can we learn from flying close to the Sun that we can’t from afar?
Flying through the solar corona—that is the magnetic field-dominated region of the solar atmosphere. will allow us to understand why the solar corona is over 300 times hotter than the solar surface and how this flow of charged particles that we call the solar wind is accelerated to hundred thousand miles per hour.
Why is it important to go to the corona?
Scientifically, this is a huge milestone. We are learning about our star and how it works and we know the Sun is always changing. It’s magnetized and an active star and flying so close to it will tell us exactly how it works. For humanity, it is a humungous stride. Flying through the atmosphere of a star is potentially the ultimate challenge that we can do here in our lives and Parker Solar is just doing that. It’s just amazing.
What are switchback and why is it important to know where they originate?
The switchbacks are a reversal of the magnetic field. The magnetic field will flip over itself in and out in a matter of seconds or minutes. What is important about them is they will tell us about the origin of the solar wind—how it came about.
What’s next for Parker?
This is only the beginning of Parker Solar Probe flying through the solar corona. From now on, every time the Parker Solar Probe flies close to the Sun, it will fly through the solar corona. And it’s just amazing that to observe that spacecraft is flying through a structure that we can see during solar eclipses. And it’s just fascinating.
One thing that we’re looking forward to is when Parker Solar Probe flies through one of the huge CMEs very close to the Sun and tell us how the solar energetic particles are accelerated to almost the speed of light.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. As Parker Solar Probe flew through the corona, its WISPR instrument captured images.The Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) is the only imaging instrument aboard the spacecraft. WISPR looks at the large-scale structure of the corona and solar wind before the spacecraft flies through it. About the size of a shoebox, WISPR takes images from afar of structures like coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, jets and other ejecta from the Sun. These structures travel out from the Sun and eventually overtake the spacecraft, where the spacecraft’s other instruments take in-situ measurements. WISPR helps link what’s happening in the large-scale coronal structure to the detailed physical measurements being captured directly in the near-Sun environment.To image the solar atmosphere, WISPR uses the heat shield to block most of the Sun’s light, which would otherwise obscure the much fainter corona. Specially designed baffles and occulters reflect and absorb the residual stray light that has been reflected or diffracted off the edge of the heat shield or other parts of the spacecraft.WISPR uses two cameras with radiation-hardened Active Pixel Sensor CMOS detectors. These detectors are used in place of traditional CCDs because they are lighter and use less power. They are also less susceptible to effects of radiation damage from cosmic rays and other high-energy particles, which are a big concern close to the Sun. The camera’s lenses are made of a radiation hard BK7, a common type of glass used for space telescopes, which is also sufficiently hardened against the impacts of dust.WISPR was designed and developed by the Solar and Heliophysics Physics Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. (principal investigator Russell Howard), which will also develop the observing program. || ", "release_date": "2021-12-20T22:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:43:36.490627-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 374325, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014000/a014055/wispr_lw_composite_enc08_20210428.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "wispr_lw_composite_enc08_20210428.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "During Parker Solar Probe’s eighth orbit around the Sun, the spacecraft flew through structures in the corona called streamers.

The data showed one spot switchbacks originate is at the visible surface of the Sun – the photosphere. By the time it reaches Earth, 93 million miles away, the solar wind is an unrelenting headwind of particles and magnetic fields. But as it escapes the Sun, the solar wind is structured and patchy. In the mid-1990s, the NASA-European Space Agency mission Ulysses flew over the Sun’s poles and discovered a handful of bizarre S-shaped kinks in the solar wind’s magnetic field lines, which detoured charged particles on a zig-zag path as they escaped the Sun. For decades, scientists thought these occasional switchbacks were oddities confined to the Sun’s polar regions. In 2019, at 34 solar radii from the Sun, Parker Solar Probe discovered that switchbacks were not rare, but common in the solar wind. This renewed interest in the features raised new questions: Where are they coming from and how do they form and evolve? Were they forged at the surface of the Sun, or shaped by some process kinking magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere? The new findings, in press at the Astrophysical Journal, finally confirm one origin point near the solar surface.
