NASA's Parker Probe will fly by the Sun next year

According to the plans made for the movement of the Parker Solar Probe, this probe will probably pass by the Sun on December 24, 2024.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, the movement of NASA's Parker probe towards the sun will be a turning point in space exploration next year. According to the plans, this probe can pass by the sun in early January of next year with a speed of 195 km/s. Until now, none of the human creations could come this close to the sun or pass by it at this speed. The distance of this probe when passing by the Sun will be only 6.1 million kilometers from its surface and in a sense Parker can touch the Sun.

The Parker Solar Probe will mark an important moment in the history of space exploration next year, according to a report published in this regard. Noor Reofi, a scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory from Johns Hopkins University, says about this important historical moment in space: Parker's passing by the sun will be a great achievement for all humanity, like the moon landing in 1969.

This probe was launched on August 12, 2018 by NASA, and its speed when passing by the Sun is 195 km/s. Due to the huge gravitational pull created when passing by the sun, Parker must travel this route at a high speed. This speed is so impressive that you can travel from New York to London in less than 30 seconds.

According to NASA's announcement on its website, this mission is a kind of sampling of the atmosphere of a star. Of course, it should be noted that the high temperature of the sun in the near distance will probably reach 1400 degrees Celsius. Parker will also use researchers' strategies in this mission to quickly enter and exit the star's atmosphere. The solar environment can be better evaluated by using the thick thermal shield located on the back of this lander.
