NASA's Parker Solar Probe Completes Closest and Fastest Solar Flyby Yet
On October 29th, 2023, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will make its closest flyby of the sun yet. This historic mission will bring the spacecraft to within 6.2 million kilometers of the sun’s surface, making it the closest and fastest solar flyby ever. The Parker Solar Probe will be traveling at an astonishing speed of 690,000 kilometers per hour, and will observe the sun’s atmosphere and its effects on the surrounding space environment. This unprecedented close-up of the sun will provide us with invaluable information about the inner workings of our star, and will be the start of a new era of solar exploration.
