NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is expected to make a fiery dive close to the solar surface on the morning of Christmas Eve.

NASA's pioneering Parker Solar Probe made history Tuesday, flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, with its heat shield exposed to scorching temperatures topping 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius).

At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe achieved the impossible – a closer encounter with the sun than any spacecraft in history. It plunged into the sun’s scorching outer atmosphere, the corona, flying through a distance of a mere 3.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe was expected to make history on Tuesday by flying into the sun's outer atmosphere called the corona on a mission to help scientists learn more about Earth's closest star. “No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star,

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has made its closest fly-by of the sun yet, allowing it to collect samples that may unlock mysteries such as why the sun’s outermost layer — the corona — is so hot.

The concept of touching the Sun can be traced back to the ancient Greek myth of Icarus, but scientists at NASA have turned that idea into a reality. On Dec. 24th, their Parker Solar Probe managed to travel to just within 3.
