The Earth ship that has passed closest to the sun, the Parker probe.

NASA has published these images of the Parker probe, on July 10, 2025, but you also have to position yourself especially because the images are actually of the closest pass that a man-made ship has made, it is the closest pass in history that any Earth ship has made, which was on December 24, 2024.


They were captured just 6,100,000 km from the solar surface, it has taken NASA months to publish these images, it does not explain it in the statement, but for now we have these images, I think more will come out of this ultra-close pass and in them we can see characteristics of the solar wind, which is the constant flow of electrically charged subatomic particles released by the Sun, which advances through the solar system at speeds greater than 1,600,000 km per hour.


This flow of solar wind, for example, is responsible for filling the surface of the moon with helium 3 and is also responsible when it is very powerful, when it escapes, for example, from the coronal holes, the coronal holes are where the strongest and most powerful solar wind comes out, it can also cause solar storms on Earth.




These images are also helping us understand those effects that can occur on Earth and that can affect all of our technology based on space satellites. The solar wind and solar climate research is quite new, the solar wind was theorized for the first time by Jean Parker, that is why they named the ship after it in 1958 and at the time the scientific community received that theory with quite a bit of criticism, but in the end he was right, although we still don't know many things about the solar wind.


How is solar wind generated? and above all how it manages to escape from the immense gravitational attraction of the sun, how all those particles do it, we are talking about particles, but together a cloud of plasma of those that go with the solar wind can carry tons of material, of particles together and there are millions and millions of tons of helium 3, for example, on the moon that have been poured by the solar wind for billions of years.


In the images we actually see the action of magnetic fields, flares, expulsion of gases, plasma, ionized particles, basically hydrogen atoms, but also helium. The flashes you see are also radiation and yet they have an almost friendly shape; if we were there, we would be dead in several different ways.
