"Parker Solar Probe's Groundbreaking Observations of Solar Turbulence and Coronal Mass Ejections"

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has made a groundbreaking observation within a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, capturing turbulent eddies known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) using its Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) instrument. This marks the first time such phenomena have been observed within a CME, providing valuable insights for solar physicists in understanding CME evolution and kinematics. The probe's elliptical orbit has allowed it to enter the sun's corona closer than ever before, and it is set to tighten its orbit around the sun in the coming years through gravitational assists from Venus.
