Watch: Nasa’s Parker Solar Probe records a sun-grazing comet for the first time ever
The Parker Solar Probe is a space probe programme which was launched in 2018 to monitor the sun’s outer atmosphere.
#ParkerSolarProbe’s camera is designed to image the solar wind & the Sun’s wispy outer atmosphere, the corona. But a recent batch of data also showed a sungrazing comet for the first time, confirming the mission can also study these hard-to-see comets. ☄️ https://t.co/sziQl3i2BS pic.twitter.com/C1ofn7tkSQ
