I thought that too when I saw it. But I believe the Parker solar probe only looks at the sun. That was probably a huge disruption on the surface of the sun, similar to the little spots that are seen before and after, but on a much larger scale.
Could that have been the site of the eruption that caused the plume that the probe flew through?
