NASA spacecraft just plunged into the sun and broke stunning records

The NASA spacecraft, Parker Solar Probe, has recently completed its 19th close approach to the Sun, setting new records for speed and proximity. During this pass, it reached a velocity of 394,736 miles per hour, making it the fastest human-made object ever, and came within 4.51 million miles of the Sun's surface. This mission, launched in 2018, aims to study the Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, to understand solar wind, magnetic fields, and other solar phenomena. The data collected could help in predicting space weather events that might affect Earth's technology. The probe's instruments are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and radiation, providing invaluable insights into solar activity.
