NASA’s Parker Solar Probe achieved a record-breaking fly-by, coming within 3.8 million miles of the Sun’s surface. The spacecraft endured extreme temperatures and radiation, successfully sending back signals to confirm its safety after the daring approach. This mission aims to uncover mysteries about the Sun’s corona, its heating mechanisms, and the solar wind, which significantly impacts space weather and technology on Earth. The probe, launched in 2018, continues to make groundbreaking advancements in solar research.
