NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured jaw-dropping images of solar wind streaming from the Sun’s outer atmosphere just 3.8 million miles from the surface. Observations like these are helping us understand how the Sun affects the solar system, including events that can affect Earth: https://go.nasa.gov/4kA9vSO | Space 360 | Facebook
