NASA's Parker Solar Probe will fly into the sun's corona, marking a historic moment as it gathers unprecedented data from uncharted territory, never before accessed by human-made objects.
The Parker Solar Probe is moving at 692,000 km/h and will face temperatures of up to 982 degrees Celsius, showcasing technology that enables close solar observation.
So far, Parker has revealed new insights into the sun’s atmosphere and provided stunning images of coronal structures, enhancing our understanding of solar phenomena.
Parker's trajectory has been cleverly designed with gravity assist maneuvers around Venus, allowing it to gradually orbit closer to the sun, maximizing its observational capabilities.
