NASA's Parker Solar Probe survives close encounter with sun
Briefly

"We sent something closer to the Sun than any other human-made object has ever gone - and it survived," Nicola Fox stated, emphasizing the significance of the Parker Solar Probe's successful proximity to the sun.
"Parker Solar Probe is braving one of the most extreme environments in our solar system," said Nour Rawafi, highlighting the challenges of the mission and the probe's technology and resilience.
"Now I have to be patient while we get the data downloaded and analyze it over the next few months to better understand our star and how it affects space weather," Fox mentioned on the excitement of upcoming discoveries.
"The 1,510-pound Parker probe is in a highly elliptical orbit and has made a series of passes of the sun, each one closer than the last," illustrating the mission's planning and the probe's trajectory.
