Exciting news from NASA! Updates on Parker Solar Probe, total solar eclipse phenomena, and Advantech's support for NASA's Artemis mission.
NASA has been buzzing with activity recently, with the Parker Solar Probe completing its 19th close approach on April 2. Mission operators at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland received updates from the spacecraft. Additionally, NASA released a video explaining the mystery behind the varying shadow sizes during a total solar eclipse. Ever wondered why some cities in the path of the shadow experience different levels of darkness? Advantech also made headlines by announcing their support for NASA's Artemis mission, providing solid-state power amplifier systems for the Lunar Exploration and Colonization Program.
Intriguingly, the Parker Solar Probe gets as close as 4 million miles from the Sun's surface, gathering crucial data to study solar winds and magnetic fields. During a total solar eclipse, the narrow shadow on Earth is caused by the Sun's distance and Earth's curvature. This phenomenon creates the illusion of a skinny shadow. Advantech's SSPA systems play a crucial role in powering communication systems for NASA's Artemis mission, paving the way for lunar exploration and potential colonization.
