NASA's Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the Sun, reaching about 6.1 million kilometers, collecting crucial data about solar wind and corona heating.
Nour Rawafi, the Parker Solar Probe's project scientist, stated, 'Parker Solar Probe is opening our eyes on a new reality about our star,' emphasizing the transformative insights gained.
The probe's heat shield, designed to withstand extreme conditions, shows improved performance with each fly-by, indicating a promising future for solar exploration.
Engineers like Elizabeth Congdon expressed confidence in the probe's design, stating, 'We over-designed the system,' allowing it to endure the Sun's intense environment.
