NASA Spacecraft First to Enter Sun’s Corona, Shoot Photos Up Close
For the first time ever, a spacecraft has touched the sun. NASA has announced that the Parker Solar probe flew through the sun's upper atmosphere and captured "coronal streamers" up close, something only ever previously seen from afar.
The Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 to examine the Sun by traveling closer to it than any spacecraft had ever done previously. Three years later, it finally has achieved that goal.
"Parker Solar Probe 'touching the Sun' is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat," Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, says.
"Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and its impacts on our solar system, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the universe.”
During its flyby, the Parker Solar Probe passed in and out of the Sun's upper atmosphere -- called the corona -- several times. NASA says that this proved what some scientists had predicted about the star's surface: it isn't shaped like a smooth ball, but rather has spikes and valleys that wrinkle the surface. NASA says that discovering where these protrusions line up with solar activity coming from the surface can help scientists learn how events on the Sun affect the atmosphere and solar wind.
During its many close flybys, the Probe dipped beneath 15 solar radii (around 6.5 million miles) from the Sun’s surface and transisted a feature in the corona called a pseudostreamer. Pseudostreamers are the massive structures that rise above the Sun’s surface and are what are visible on Earth during solar eclipses.
"Passing through the pseudostreamer was like flying into the eye of a storm," NASA explains. "Inside the pseudostreamer, the conditions quieted, particles slowed, and the number of switchbacks dropped -- a dramatic change from the busy barrage of particles the spacecraft usually encounters in the solar wind."
As the Parker Solar Probe passed through the corona, it photographed those coronal streamers and has provided a perspective that had previously only ever been visible from afar, as mentioned, namely during solar eclipses as viewed from Earth.

The Parker Solar Probe will continue to spiral closer to the Sun and will eventually reach as close as 8.86 solar radii (3.83 million miles) from the surface. The next major flyby is scheduled to take place in January of 2022, and NASA says this will likely bring it close enough to fly through the corona again.
“It’s really exciting to see our advanced technologies succeed in taking Parker Solar Probe closer to the Sun than we’ve ever been, and to be able to return such amazing science,” Joseph Smith, Parker program executive at NASA Headquarters, says. "We look forward to seeing what else the mission discovers as it ventures even closer in the coming years."

This is the First Video Made Entirely of Hand-Processed Cyanotypes
Photographer and filmmaker Edd Carr has just completed a video where each frame was printed by hand. He says he believes that it is the first time that anyone has made a video from start to finish exclusively from cyanotypes.
Carr tells PetaPixel that he was hired to make a music video for Tycho Jones and Globe Town Records who contacted him directly because of his unique animation process. He says that he was given total creative freedom on this project and as a result, the video deals thematically with birds and their relationship to culture and climate change.
"My artistic practice is quite niche, in that I adapt photographic processes into animation whilst also innovating new animation techniques through printmaking," Carr explains. "I had animated using cyanotype before, but only brief sequences -- never an entire video. In the past, I have created animations using lumen printing, darkroom photograms, and printing on natural materials. For example, I am currently making an animation about climate change printed on soil, clips of which can be seen on my Instagram."
Carr's finished product is a mixture of digital and analog processes and required multiple steps. He says that he shot the initial footage on a Canon 650D DSLR with a 10-22mm lens at 24 frames per second in Full HD, but the finished video also blends in archival footage from his personal library.
To move from digital to analog and back again, Carr first split the footage into individual frames using Final Cut Pro, which meant that he would get 24 individual JPEGs per second of footage.
"In total, this resulted in over five thousand individual JPEGs," Carr says. "These were then transformed into digital negatives by printing them on A4 acetate for use in the cyanotype process (nine frames per sheet of A4)."
He explains that the cyanotypes were printed on Goldline Watercolour Studio Paper -- "200gsm/90lbs, cold-pressed, acid-free."
"As you can see with the footage, it is textured watercolor paper, recorded in the individual frames," he says.
Coating cyanotypes en masse. Wash development.
Processing the cyanotypes was, as expected, the most difficult part.
"This took a month, full of errors and changes and mistakes. As cyanotype can fog over time, I had to coat the paper in batches, leave them overnight to dry, and then expose and develop the next day. Typically, I would coat around 100 A4 pages a day, using only one coat of cyanotype solution. I would then allow them to dry, and tape the digital negatives onto them," Carr explains.
Exposing the cyanotypes.
"These were then printed the following day on a large scale UV bed, in batches of 25. I would then wash them the same day, using two still baths of water (instead of running to save water) and spraying them directly with white vinegar to retain the mid-tones. Overall I printed around 580 sheets, nine frames per sheet, so roughly 5,000 individual frames," he continues.

"Following this, I then digitized each frame with a desktop scanner, cropped them in Lightroom, and then dropped them into the timeline for the music video," he says.
Over the course of two and a half months -- the first month was dedicated to shooting and collecting stock footage -- working an average of six days a week full time, Carr slowly put together the finished video.
"My process is very labor-intensive and so it takes me a little longer than typical video makers," he says.
"With my work dealing with issues such as climate change, and adopts sustainable methods (cyanotype is famously low toxic), whilst also being completely handmade - this appealed to [the client's] creative direction as a music label," Carr says. "I think at the beginning they felt like they were taking a bit of a risk, as something like this has never been attempted -- but are pleased with the result!"

The First-Ever Camera Collar Footage Shot by a Wild Wolf
You can now see the world from a wolf's point of view. This 3-minute video is the first-ever camera collar footage shot from the perspective of a wild wolf.
The video was released by the Voyageurs Wolf Project, which studies wolves in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem of Minnesota. The group trapped a lone wolf, sedated it, put a camera collar on it, and released it back into the wild.
The camera captured the wolf running around in the forest, gnawing on a deer bone, stomping through a river, hunting fish trapped near a beaver dam, and more.
"What is particularly fascinating is that this wolf (V089, a lone wolf) knew how to hunt and catch fish," the project says. "He can be seen eating 3 different fish, which were all killed and consumed at the same spot along the Ash River. Based on the amount of time this wolf spent in this spot, it is clear this wolf killed more than 3 fish."
The camera collar was programmed to shoot 30 seconds of footage at the beginning of every daylight hour. With 14 hours of daylight, a total of 7 minutes of video was gathered on a daily basis.
"7 minutes of footage a day is not that much," the project writes. "Luckily, we still captured some really neat stuff!"
The wolf was equipped with a Vectronic-Aerospace camera collar, which scientists use for wildlife studies. Nikon and GoPro have both dipped their toes in the doggy camera market in the past, but neither of those products gained much traction.
In addition to learning a lesson for next time (that the wolf's scruffy beard can block a good portion of the frame), the footage revealed interesting things about wolf behavior.
"Up to this point, we had only documented wolves from a single pack (the Bowman Bay Pack) hunting and killing fish at the same small creek," the project writes. "However, this footage clearly demonstrates that other wolves in our area know how to hunt fish and they do so in different areas.
"This revelation—in addition to some other info we learned in 2020 (i.e., we had another wolf from the Paradise Pack that went fishing…more about this soon!)—provides insight into the genesis and persistence of unique predation behaviors in wolf populations!"
