@chkchen.bsky.social Hi, do you know the UTC times of #ParkerSolarProbe perihelia this year? Unfortunately the parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu site seems to be no longer updated. Thanks!

A Spacecraft Flew Closer to the Sun Than Ever – and Is Rewriting a Century-Old Mystery Close-up measurements from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe are giving scientists an unprecedented look at how the solar wind gains energy and speeds away from the sun.

#SpaceTalk #Sun - Close-up data from #ParkerSolarProbe 
is helping scientists uncover how #SolarWind is heated & accelerated, improving predictions of space weather & deepening insight into  plasma behavior around the sun & beyond.

Finding the point of no return: Sun's shifting, spiky atmospheric boundary mapped in detail for 1st time "This work shows without a doubt that Parker Solar Probe is diving deep with every orbit into the region where the solar wind is born."

The $10 BILLION Blur: Why AMATEUR Images of 3I/Atlas Shame NASA How is a guy in his backyard outperforming a $10 billion space agency? 🔭💸 It sounds like a joke, but the punchline is terrifyingly real. In this episode, we dive into the brewing controversy surrounding the interstellar object 3I/Atlas. We are breaking down the viral analysis by Stefan Burns, which exposes a glaring, embarrassing gap between what NASA is showing us and what amateur astronomers are capturing from their driveways. Why do images from the billion-dollar James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) look like blurry smudges, while private citizens are capturing clear, defined shots of 3I/Atlas showing multiple jets and a massive tail? We analyze the "official" data from the Parker Solar Probe and MAVEN, which hints at a massive plasma sheath surrounding the object—something NASA seems keen to downplay. We also tackle the strange discrepancies in tail direction and size that just don't add up. Is this a case of government incompetence, or is the high-definition truth being withheld from the public? Detailed, distinct, and undeniable—the amateurs have the receipts. Let’s see if NASA has an explanation. 🎧 Tune in to see the images they don't want to explain. Topics Covered: 3I/Atlas, NASA vs. Amateurs, Stefan Burns, JWST, HiRISE Camera, MAVEN Plasma, Interstellar Objects, Space Anomalies, Astrophotography, Government Secrecy. [Sick of the blurry truth?

Magnetic 'switchback' detected near Earth for the first time In recent years, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has given us a close-up look at the sun. Among the probe's revelations was the presence of numerous kinks, or "switchbacks," in magnetic field lines in the sun's outer atmosphere. These switchbacks are thought to form when solar magnetic field lines that point in opposite directions break and then snap together, or "reconnect," in a new arrangement, leaving telltale zigzag kinks in the reconfigured lines.

🤯 The Sun's magnetic fields aren't smooth! NASA's probe revealed dazzling switchbacks—kinks & snaps in solar lines! A cosmic dance of energy! ✨ #ParkerSolarProbe

EUI image of solar corona showing the flare on September 5th/6th, 2022. The image is split into one large frame to the left and two smaller frames on the top and bottom to the right. The left frame shows a full-scale image of the Sun, in predominantly yellow false-color images against a black background. The solar surface appears strongly structured, with a particularly bright region on its lower right part. The two smaller frames are zooms onto this region at different times, as indicated by the time stamps on the bottom left corners. Additional black arrows in those two insets point at six features in each of the two inset frames.

After 70 years, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has confirmed how the Sun unleashes massive flares: magnetic reconnection.

This breakthrough could transform space weather forecasting - protecting tech on Earth.
