The Parker Probe is the first ever to "touch the sun" but also recorded its atmospheric environment. • What does the solar wind sound like? A wind of fast moving particles blows out from our Sun, and although space transmits sound poorly, particle impact and variable-field data from NASA's near-Sun Parker Solar Probe is being translated into sound.

The Parker Solar Probe is a NASA space probe launched in 2018 to make observations of the outer corona of the Sun. #science #astronomy #space #astrology

To see such far-off and faint objects, Webb needs a large mirror. A telescope’s sensitivity, or how much detail it can see, is directly related to the size of the mirror area that collects light from the objects being observed. A larger area collects more light, just like a larger bucket collects more water in a rain shower than a small one. #science #astronomy #space #astrology

First ever direct image of a black hole, taken in radio wavelength, located at the core of Messier 87. Animated simulation of a Schwarzschild black hole with a galaxy passing behind. Around the time of alignment, extreme gravitational lensing of the galaxy is observed. #science #astronomy #space #astrology
