GONG data are used to predict magnetic connectivity for NASA's Parker Solar Probe

 

For the third time, NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft reached its record-breaking perihelion (closest distance to the Sun on its orbit) of 9.86 of radius of the Sun.  Perihelion (encounter) 24 occurred on 2025/06/19 at 09:31 UT. Synoptic magnetogram shows the predictions of magnetic connectivity between solar surface and the spacecraft based on GONG and SDO/HMI observations.
