We're Heading to the Sun! SciShow News

NASA's Parker Solar Probe aims to study the Sun's corona and solar wind by getting closer than any previous mission. Despite launch delays, the probe's unique trajectory uses Venus flybys to control its speed. It will become the fastest human-made object, protected by a lightweight carbon shield from extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, New Horizons explores the interplanetary medium, revealing a mysterious glow possibly linked to a hydrogen wall at the heliopause. Together, these missions enhance our understanding of the solar system.
