‘Parker Solar Probe’ a NASA spacecraft, made history by approaching the Sun. NASA’s spacecraft successfully approached the Sun on Friday (about 11 a.m. in Bangladesh). The spacecraft is called Parker Solar Probe. No spacecraft has ever come this close to the Sun before. According to NASA, a “light signal” from the probe has reached the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, USA, from which the probe is operated.
‘Parker Solar Probe’ a NASA spacecraft: The Parker Solar Probe began its voyage to the Sun on Tuesday (December 24), moving at approximately 430,000 miles per hour. During this time, the probe had to survive temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (980 degrees Celsius). Despite these severe conditions, it managed to get within 3.8 million miles of the Sun’s surface at roughly 11 a.m. Bangladesh time yesterday.
Since the launch on December 24, communication with the spacecraft or probe has been lost. The spacecraft’s program was planned so that if it successfully arrived at the desired point near the Sun, it would emit a light signal. NASA experts had been eagerly awaiting this transmission.
Sending the signal indicates that the spacecraft is safe and capable of functioning properly. The spacecraft is planned to relay precise information on its current status on January 1.
With the Parker Solar Probe moving so close to the Sun, new information about the star is likely to emerge. This information will help scientists better understand the ultra-hot areas surrounding the Sun and determine the origins of solar winds.
Previously, satellites orbiting close to the Sun assisted scientists in understanding the outer borders of the star’s atmosphere.
