Earth Images by Solar Probes: NASA spacecraft tracking the sun have taken pictures of the Earth and other planets in the solar system.
The three spacecraft monitoring the sun have taken some such pictures, which may make a person guess their place in the universe. The US Space Agency NASA’s three solar mission spacecraft have captured historical pictures of our solar system in their cameras. In these pictures taken from different places, the Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Arun and Saturn, orbiting the sun, are visible in the vast universe. These photos remind me of Pale Blue Dot, the most famous picture of Earth taken from Voyager 1.
Photos taken from different angles
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and Solar Orbiter, a partnership with ESA, monitor activities on and around the sun. All three are in different places in the solar system. They study such things as the extreme heat of the outer atmosphere of the sun, the dust of the sun in the solar system and the solar storm. The three craft have taken pictures of many planets from different angles while roaming the solar system during their mission.
Solar orbiter
The Solar Orbiter Mission sent with ESA sent a very interesting picture on 18 November last year. In it, Venus, Uranus, Earth and Mars can be seen with bright glow. When this data was sent, the solar orbiter was 250 million kilometers from Earth. The special thing was that Arun is also included in this footage, this possibility was expressed by a user and confirmed by scientists after that. The sun is not visible in this picture but it was on the right side of the picture.
Parker Solar Probe
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is the closest to the sun and will study the origin of the solar storm. On June 7 last year, it sent a picture showing 6 planets in our solar system. In this picture Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Earth and Mercury can be seen. When this picture was sent, the mission was 150 million kilometers from the earth.
STEREO
The mission also sent a photo of the same planets that Parker saw on 7 June. However, its angle was different. It placed Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Saturn and Jupiter in this order. STEREO’s job is to study the sun’s outer atmosphere (Corona). Also, it studies solar storm and gives accuracy to the forecast related to the sun’s weather.
