It’s not a spacecraft, it’s a hero. It literally fires into space with solar flares. Despite this, he did not change his route, regardless of Güneş’s attacks. It became the name of a miracle by surviving a tremendous solar explosion. In fact, NASA designed this spacecraft to withstand harsh conditions in such an atmosphere. But no one expected this much. Parker turned out to be a warrior. Here are the details…
NASA’s spacecraft Parker continues its mission despite a massive solar explosion!
Scientists recently released rare images of this solar event called CME, which stands for explosion of a mass of super-hot gas (plasma). Let’s not forget to mention NASA’s spacecraft that brought us these images. He made great sacrifices to capture these images. Even though he was caught in the middle of the explosion, he continued his duty. He literally challenged the Sun. Mark Miesch, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center, “It’s like taking a piece of the sun and throwing it into space.” said.
NASA declared this CME to be one of the most powerful coronal mass ejections ever recorded. Fortunately, NASA had equipped the spacecraft with a solid heat shield. Thus, he withstood such an intense radiation blast. He survived and sent us detailed information about the Sun.
NASA broke a new space record!
This time, NASA astronauts broke a brand new record. NASA astronaut Frank Rubio became the astronaut who spent the longest time in space.
For this spacecraft, it’s a big achievement for little Earth. Johns Hopkins laboratory explained this situation as follows: “In total, the Parker spacecraft spent about two days observing CME. Became the first spacecraft to pass through a powerful solar flare near the Sun.” Thus, he managed to have his name written in golden letters in history.
Scientists are evaluating data from NASA’s spacecraft Parker and telescopes to investigate the effects of CMEs and the Sun. Additionally, NASA warns the whole world about CMEs. It has potentially devastating effects. CMEs are so powerful that they emit energy that can endanger satellites. Unfortunately, this can disrupt communications and navigation technologies. It could even knock out power grids on Earth. We can almost hear you say no more. But unfortunately the world has witnessed such an event before.
An infamously powerful CME left millions without power in Québec, Canada, in 1989. On March 12, 1989, CME hit the Earth’s magnetic field. At dawn the next day, the currents found a weakness in Québec’s power grid. In less than 2 minutes, the entire city was without power. There was a long outage that lasted up to 12 hours. The entire city surrendered to darkness.
