Since 2018, #ParkerSolarProbe has ventured closer to the Sun than any spacecraft, uncovering chaotic magnetic fields, bursts of solar wind and revolutionizing our knowledge of coronal heating. This month, it makes its closest approach yet. 🌞🚀 jhuapl.link/2hz @NASASun

This month, Jupiter shines bright near the Eye of the Bull in Taurus. ✨ You can even glimpse its Galilean moons and famous cloud bands with binoculars or a small telescope. 🔭 Pro tip: Try sketching the moons’ movements—just like Galileo did! More: go.nasa.gov/3OBjoSL

#ICYMI we got so excited when darkness arrived that we didn’t get to tell you about @NASASun #EZIEMag. This is a very cool magnetometer experiment that we ran at more than 30 locations in the path of #totality to measure the change in the ionospheric currents. But even better you can apply to have one at your school and join our @NASA #EZIE mission team. Details at ezie.jhuapl.edu/outreach/ezi…

Just over 6 years ago, @NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft embarked on its historic mission to "touch" the Sun. parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/ This Christmas Eve, the #JHUAPL-built spacecraft will break its own record as the closest human-made object to the Sun. 🛰️☀️
