NASA Spacecraft Survives ‘Touching The Sun’ — What Happens Next
Parker Solar Probe is still standing after a daring encounter with the sun. On Christmas Eve, the spacecraft boldly ventured into the star’s corona, achieving humanity’s closest-ever approach to the sun. As NASA received a beacon tone from the probe late last night, it appears that Parker has emerged unscathed from its perilous journey.
The mission was always about pushing the boundaries of what is possible and exploring the unknown. NASA’s ambition is not just about reaching new heights but also about answering fundamental questions regarding our nearest star and its impact on the solar system.
As the spacecraft continues to study the sun’s behavior, it now holds a crucial record for being the fastest-ever human-made object with a speed of 430,000 mph (692,017.92 kilometers per hour). The probe’s incredible feat is nothing short of remarkable.
The Parker Solar Probe will complete two more hyper-close passes at the same distance on March 22 and June 19, 2025, which marks the end of its mission.
