Sun. has the first secrets revealed by NASA following an impressive amount of data sent by the Parker probe, which was launched to analyze the star that heats our entire galaxy. The probe sent by NASA approached the sun that illuminates us every day in two rows, and sent 22 GB of data to the American space agency, revealing a lot of extremely interesting information for us.
The probe now sent by NASA has reached the shortest distance to our sun compared to any other spacecraft that has been sent by the space agency to date. NASa claims that the probe that analyzed the sun sent 50% more data to Earth compared to the initial expectations, so more than likely there will be more important details that will be revealed to all of humanity.
The Sun has the First SECRETS Revealed by a NASA Probe
NASA discovered very shortly after launching the probe to the sun that it is capable of sending data at much higher speeds than initially expected, and now they are taking advantage of this. Apart from these 22 GB of data sent now after the sun was analyzed, NASA expects to receive another 15 GB of information by August 25, and thus it will be able to analyze much more easily what is happening on the surface of the sun.
"On May 6, 2019, just over a month after Parker Solar Probe completed its second solar encounter, the final transmission of 22 gigabytes of planned science data — collected during the first two encounters — was downlinked by the mission team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, or APL, in Laurel, Maryland. Parker Solar Probe continues on its record-breaking exploration of the Sun with its third solar encounter beginning Aug. 27, 2019; the spacecraft's third perihelion will occur on Sept. 1."
The Sun will have the first information about its secrets revealed by NASA sometime this year, but until then the probe will cross the star for the third time before sending images. The sun will be flown at the shortest distance by the NASA probe on September 1, but its mission will not end here, because the space agency wants to continue receiving information from it in the coming years.
The sun is very difficult to analyze because of the very high heat it emits, as well as the radiation, so NASA is trying hard to gather as much information as possible thanks to its probe.
