In two weeks, the spacecraft will pass through the atmosphere of our closest star as part of its mission to “touch” the Sun.
“On Christmas Eve this year, the Parker Solar Probe will be the closest ever to the star,” Noor Rawafi of Johns Hopkins University said at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Washington, D.C., on December 10. It will be an artificial celestial body.” “We are at the moment we have been waiting for nearly 60 years.”
