Observations from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe have improved our understanding of both the Sun and its environment. Fantastic N&V by @DVerscharen#PSP

Do you remember when I said that we had planned something special in connection with the @ParkerSolar probe first results in Nature?
Well, what’s better than a News & Views... written by Parker itself?? It’s finally out, so here it is: https://t.co/Ov89iH8LHQ
From this mornings press release! Special recognition to Teresea Nieves Chincilla, Samantha Wallace, Tatiana Niembro, Nathalia Alzate, Nicholas Poitier, Thanos and Alexis https://t.co/cCRHJX01Ex
Editorial: The Parker Solar Probe has many more solar flybys ahead of it, taking it progressively closer to the star. It has yet to cross a boundary into the Sun’s corona; beyond that lies a ‘here be dragons’ realm that no one has ever seen. https://t.co/klMEX4vIAm
Our paper on plasma turbulence near the Sun measured by the @PSP_FIELDS and @TheSWEAPLife instruments on @NASASun#ParkerSolarProbe, and presented at #AGU19, has just been accepted for publication and is available at https://t.co/nakGxap85P
9 years ago, the @NASASun#ParkerSolarProbe Radio Frequency Spectrometer was a sketch on a whiteboard. Today at #AGU19, we presented radio spectra measured in the inner heliosphere, including these beautiful Type III bursts.

#ParkerSolarProbe sees switchbacks in the magnetic field near the Sun. This morning at #AGU19, Thierry Dudok de Wit discussed switchback statistics. Accepted paper is online: https://t.co/knNLWPuaQO
@NASASun
#AGU19 will be full of first results from @NASASun#ParkerSolarProbe. We'll start Monday morning in SH11A (@KellyKorreck and @draleidakate's session)!
FIELDS PI Stuart Bale will discuss magnetic structure of the emerging solar wind. Read the paper: https://t.co/bwZSEIOsM3
The Sun’s constant outflow of material, the solar wind, is fairly uniform near Earth. But Parker saw a surprisingly dynamic system, including sudden reversals in the direction of the magnetic field — events dubbed "switchbacks." Scientists don't yet know their origins.
Science data from #ParkerSolarProbe's first two solar encounters is now available to the public! 📈🛰 Details: https://t.co/5pspomUoEY
