NASA's Parker Solar Probe Celebrates 16th Revolution Around the Sun
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has made its 16th close approach to the Sun, and the data it has collected continues to paint an incredible picture of our star. On July 23, the spacecraft flew within 12.3 million miles of the Sun’s surface, setting a new record for the closest approach ever made by a human-made object. During the flyby, the Parker Solar Probe gathered valuable data on the Sun’s atmosphere and magnetic fields, giving scientists a better understanding of the inner workings of our star. Stay tuned for more discoveries as the mission continues!
