NASA's Parker Solar Probe has successfully made its closest ever approach to the sun, surviving the intense heat and becoming humanity's fastest spacecraft.
This daring mission aims to study the sun's corona, the outermost layer of its atmosphere, and understand why it is much hotter than the sun's surface. The probe will continue orbiting the sun at this close distance, gathering crucial data on the solar wind and furthering our understanding of the sun.
