A NASA spacecraft captured incredible imagery as it flew through an eruption from the sun recently. Pictures beamed back to scientists on Earth even show the fiery ejection “vacuuming up” space dust left over from the formation of the solar system. The fly-through by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe took place on September 5 and NASA …
