Svemirska letelica „Parker” Američke svemirske agencije NASA uranja u spoljašnju atmosferu naše zvezde i prilazi na 6,1 milion kilometara od površine Sunca – najbliže do sada u istoriji istraživanja svemira.
This NASA article highlights the upcoming approach of the Parker Solar Probe to the Sun, closer than any spacecraft before. The main conceptual idea is that the Parker Solar Probe will dramatically bring humanity closer to understanding the Sun’s outer atmosphere (corona) and its complex behavior. The probe will brave extreme heat and radiation to collect data about the Sun’s corona, hoping to shed light on long-standing mysteries about how it produces solar wind and affects the Earth’s magnetic field through auroras.
