Nasa makes history with closest-ever approach to Sun

In a historic achievement, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe successfully completed the closest-ever approach to the Sun, surviving extreme temperatures and radiation as it passed just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface. The spacecraft is on a mission to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere and better understand processes such as solar wind and particle acceleration, with the goal of solving mysteries surrounding the Sun’s intense heat and space weather. Despite facing challenges, the probe’s innovative design and speed of 430,000 mph allowed it to collect valuable data that could have significant impacts on our understanding of the Sun and its effects on Earth.
