A Spacecraft Entered the Sun’s Outer Atmosphere

According to a news on the official website of the American Space and Aviation Administration (NASA), it was launched 3 years ago. Parker Solar Probe The spacecraft named after flying through the corona, the outer atmosphere of the Sun, also known as the corona, has reached the Sun until now in history. the closest to It was the first spacecraft.

Parker Solar Probe, one of the most important space missions ever performed by NASA; By studying the Sun even more closely than any man-made spacecraft has ever studied, it examines the particles and magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the giant star. samples took it out. This step, which is expected to assist scientists in obtaining and discovering important information on behalf of the solar system, is an important step for solar science. turning point is referred to as.

It will circumnavigate the Sun 24 times over 7 years.

Thomas Zurbuchen of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington; Regarding the importance of the Parker Solar Probe’s ‘touching the Sun’ to solar science, “This milestone only tells us more about the evolution of our Sun and its effects on our solar system. deep knowledge Not only does it provide us with everything we learn about our own star. stars in the rest of the universe It teaches you more about it.” used the phrases.

The tasks of the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft include; The constant outflow of matter from the Sun, the acceleration of the solar wind, and the very high temperature of the corona the mystery behind there is solve. In addition, the spacecraft is expected to make a major contribution to understanding the mechanism that causes the acceleration of the sun’s active particles. part facing the sun 1370 degrees The Parker Solar Probe, which is exposed to the heat, is aimed to go around the Sun 24 times over 7 years.
