NASA’s Probe That Is Going To ‘Touch’ The Sun
NASA’s Parker solar probe is the first of its kind to go the closest to the sun than any other spacecraft before it. Here are the details.

NASA’s Parker solar probe will go the closest to the sun’s atmosphere, the first one to do so than any other spacecraft before it. Parker probe will speed through the sizzling hot temperatures around the sun and will ‘touch’ the sun helping us understand more about the Sun and its properties. It will go as close as 6 million kilometres and will be the first spacecraft to do so. This Parker solar probe is named after the named 91-year old solar astrophysicist Eugene Parker. This is the first time that NASA has named a spacecraft after the name of a living person. This probe is almost in the size of a car and is ready to take off on August 11th.
