    Parker Solar Probe indeed got closer, but did not take photos of the sun from that point. Another important detail that is a bit confusing is that this is also not the highest resolution image taken of the sun. Ground based telescopes have taken higher resolution images, however, they cannot image in EUV because EUV is absorbed by the atmosphere. (So, this is likely the highest resolution imaged in EUV, which is necessarily a space-based observation.)
