Parker Solar Probe’s Stunning Solar Eclipse Image Reveals Corona Dynamics #1473688 (License: Personal Use)

This image, taken by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe using its Wide-field Imager for Solar PRobe (WISPR), shows the Sun’s corona during a spacecraft-performed occultation. Bright orange and yellow regions indicate hotter, denser plasma streams, while blue hues represent cooler, diffuse solar wind. The black disk is the probe’s occulter, blocking direct sunlight to reveal faint coronal features otherwise invisible from Earth.
