Sun. comes back to the attention of the whole world thanks to an impressive announcement that shows us a major achievement of those from NASA, here's what exactly happened in our solar system. More specifically, NASA has again sent the Parker space probe close to the star in our solar system, and we are talking about a new visit with the sun seen by the probe at the 5th greatest distance it has reached so far the present moment in relation to him.
Sun. it was visited by the Parker probe at a distance of 18.7 million kilometers, and everything is part of the plan of those from NASA to bring, in the next period, the probe to the closest distance to the star. The Parker probe had a speed of almost 400.000 km/h while it was walking around the sun, the current "visit" being scheduled to last until June 28, during which time it will collect a very varied range of information about the star.
The Sun: NASA Amazes the Whole World with an IMPRESSIVE Achievement
Sun. it has temperatures of up to several million degrees Celsius in the "corona", i.e. the equivalent of the atmosphere, and the researchers want to discover why there are much higher temperatures there than on the surface of the star. The Parker probe will collect a lot of information that will help researchers to unravel this mystery that the sun still hides, but everything depends on how close it can get to the star's crown, which is so hot.
Sun. it is not the only cosmic body that the Parker probe will visit, Venus is also in the attention of those from NASA, and the probe will also be sent there to record images of the planet. Of course, this will all happen over the next few months, but it remains to be seen how much useful data NASA will be able to gather since the ever-increasing proximity to the sun that heats us could destroy the ship before sending the data back. .
Sun. has been the target of these missions for more than a year, and NASA has extremely high expectations from the Parker probe, which has so far sent tens of GB of data about the star.
