The Parker Solar Probe (PSP; previously Solar Probe, Solar Probe Plus or Solar Probe+) [6] is a NASA space probe launched in 2018 to make observations of the Sun's outer corona. It used repeated gravity assists from Venus to develop an eccentric orbit, approaching within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles) [ 7 ] [ 8 ] from ...
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018, heading to the centre of our solar system. It has already swept past the Sun 21 times, getting ever nearer, but the Christmas Eve visit is record-breaking.
Within two months of launching, the Parker Solar Probe in October 2018 moved within 26.55 million miles of the sun's surface, breaking the previous mark set by the Helios-2 spaecraft in 1976.
The Parker Solar Probe is also the fastest thing ever made on Earth. Nasa said the mission operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel , Maryland , received the ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has beamed home its first detailed update eight days after making a record-breaking approach to the sun, the agency announced.. The spacecraft confirmed its systems and ...
English: As Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona in early 2021, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward and downward in this video compiled from the spacecraft's WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe) instrument.
The Parker Solar Probe zoomed by the sun on Tuesday during a record-breaking flyby, coming within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the solar surface during humanity’s closest ...
