Two days after the probe zipped within 3.8 million miles of the sun, it managed to transmit a beacon back to Earth indicating that it remains in good health and is operating as expected, NASA said.
A Nasa spacecraft has made history by surviving the closest-ever approach to the Sun. Scientists received a signal from the Parker Solar Probe just before midnight EST on Thursday (05:00 GMT on ...
A Nasa spacecraft is in “good health” after going closer to the Sun than anything ever has, the space agency has said. The Parker Solar Probe appears to have successfully completed a journey ...
The spacecraft passed 3.8 million miles (6.1 million km) from the solar surface on Dec. 24, flying into the sun's outer atmosphere called the corona, on a mission to help scientists learn more ...
The PSP and ESA-NASA Solar Orbiter (SolO) missions cooperated to trace solar wind and transients from their sources on the Sun to the inner interplanetary space. [ 92 ] In 2022, PSP and SolO planners collaborated to study why the Sun's atmosphere is "150 times hotter" than its surface.
The detailed images recorded by SDO in 2011–2012 have helped scientists uncover new secrets about the Sun. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission which has been observing the Sun since 2010. [4] Launched on 11 February 2010, the observatory is part of the Living With a Star (LWS) program.

According to NASA, Earth's magnetosphere and the Sun's magnetic field are constantly pressed against one another on the dayside of Earth. Approximately every eight minutes, these fields briefly merge, forming a temporary "portal" between the Earth and the Sun through which high-energy particles such as solar wind can flow. The portal takes the ...
Nasa has confirmed that its Parker Solar Probe is “operating normally” after making the closest-ever approach to the Sun by a spacecraft.. The pioneering probe made its closest approach to the ...
