A historical touch to the Sun… NASA has achieved a first!

According to the news in the Guardian, Parket, who entered the outer atmosphere of the Sun, was also able to collect samples from here.

Thus, for the first time, a man-made object touched the Sun. Thomas Zurbuchen, who made statements on behalf of NASA, used the following statements;

The ‘Parker Solar Probe touches the Sun’ is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable achievement. This milestone not only gives us deeper insights into the evolution of our Sun and its effects on our solar system, but everything we learn about the Sun teaches us more about the stars in the rest of the universe.’

The corona of the sun is known to be much hotter than the actual surface of the star. It is thought that the underlying cause of this can be determined with the data collected by the spacecraft.

IN TOTAL, 21 WILL MAKE CLOSE TRANSITION

Parker will have made 21 close approaches to the sun over seven years before completing its mission.

NASA’s probe will approach the Sun’s surface up to 6.28 million kilometers in 2024.

In other words, Parker will come closer to the Sun than Mercury, the closest planet to him.
