Entering the Corona

Source: https://youtu.be/IQXNqhQzBLM

Last but not least ... you've probably already seen it, but mankind has finally managed to touch the Sun. Kind of at least. The actual event happened already at the beginning of 2021. But a few days ago, scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Labs finally released the corresponding video.

And it is ... stunning. The Parker Solar Probe has flown through the outer layer of the Sun's corona, and the individual images of the so-called streamers have been stitched together into a video.

If you are even a little bit into space exploration, you have to see this absolutely stunning result. Well, well, very well done.
