Technologue.id, Jakarta – NASA’s spacecraft captured incredible images while flying through recent solar eruptions. Images sent back to scientists on Earth even show flares “sucking up” space dust left over from the formation of the solar system.
Quoted from Digital Trends, the flight carried out by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe took place on September 5 and NASA shared the images on Monday.

According to the space agency, the probe was in the midst of one of the most powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ever recorded, a coincidental event that provided scientists with a treasure trove of scientific data.
CMEs are powerful eruptions of the sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona. Its power is so great that it has the potential to disrupt communications and navigation technology such as satellites, and even shut down the power grid on Earth.
Interplanetary dust consists of tiny particles from asteroids, comets, and planets, and is found throughout the solar system.
NASA says that learning more about how CMEs interact with interplanetary dust could help scientists better determine the speed at which CMEs travel toward Earth, which in turn could lead to improvements in estimates of when exactly our planet feels its impact.

What’s particularly interesting is that close-range imagery gives scientists the best opportunity to characterize dust dynamics after a CME, something that is difficult to do when observing such events from a distance.
