NASA's Parker Solar Probe successfully flew through and captured footage of a powerful solar explosion known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). The rare footage, released by scientists, shows the probe becoming the first spacecraft to fly through a CME near the sun, which is like "scooping up a piece of the sun and ejecting it into space." The observations from the Parker Solar Probe will help scientists better understand and predict potentially destructive CMEs, which can pose risks to satellites, communication technologies, and power grids on Earth.
