ourob ( @ourob@discuss.tchncs.de ) English36•10 months ago Mr_Blott ( @Mr_Blott@feddit.uk ) 15•10 months agoJudging by the video quality, I’m just going to assume NASA just used a giant catapult to fling a Nokia 3310 at the sun
kaupas24 ( @kaupas24@kbin.social ) 10•10 months agoI’m no expert, but I assume it’s a highly specialized camera where the image quality wasn’t the priority.
Mr_Blott ( @Mr_Blott@feddit.uk ) 6•10 months agoThat’s exactly what I said tho
kaupas24 ( @kaupas24@kbin.social ) 3•10 months agoAh. I thought you meant the video quality was bad. But yea the space probe is probably indestructible
Ech ( @ech@lemm.ee ) English11•10 months agoThat is so cool! Any insight into what is transmitting the sound being picked up by the mics? Is there just enough material surrounding the probe to pick up the shock wave?

myfavouritename ( @myfavouritename@beehaw.org ) English3•10 months agoI thought that too when I saw it. But I believe the Parker solar probe only looks at the sun. That was probably a huge disruption on the surface of the sun, similar to the little spots that are seen before and after, but on a much larger scale.
Could that have been the site of the eruption that caused the plume that the probe flew through?
