NASA solar probe photographs Earth from 43 mn km away
NASA's Parker Solar Probe aimed to enter the Sun's outer atmosphere captured an image of the Earth, about 43 million kilometres (27 million miles) from the planet. The image shows Earth as a bright round spot. Launched on August 12, the seven-year mission is named after astrophysicist Eugene Parker, who in 1958 first predicted the existence of the solar winds.
