By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — The Parker Solar Probe will zoom by the sun on Tuesday during a record-breaking flyby, coming within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the solar surface during humanity’s closest approach to a star. The uncrewed spacecraft will fly at 430,000 miles per hour (692,000 kilometers per hour), which is fast enough to reach Tokyo from Washington, DC, in under a minute, according to NASA. The speedy flyby wi…

NASA probe to make Christmas Eve trip to sun

NASA announced that Parker Solar Probe, the probe that is orbiting around the Sun, will make the closest approach ever to the star at the center of the Solar System. The international space agency announced that, around 11:53 (Lisbon time) on December 24, the Parker Solar Probe will pass at a distance of just over 6 million kilometers from the Sun's surface. “No man-made object has ever come so close to a star, so the Parker Solar Probe will act…

NASA solar probe to make its closest ever pass of Sun

A dive into the Sun passing just 6.1 million kilometers from its surface and hurtling at a speed of 692,000 kilometers per hour: this will be the new record of NASA's Parker probe, designed to study our star like never before to understand the characteristics of the solar atmosphere. The closest point will be reached on December 24 at 12:53pm but the probe will return to communication with the Earth only from December 27. Launched in August 2018…

Un tuffo nel Sole passando ad appena 6,1 milioni di chilometri dalla sua superficie e sfrecciando alla velocità di 692mila chilometri orari: sarà il nuovo record della sonda Parker della Nasa, ideata per studiare la nostra stella come mai prima d'ora per capire le caratteristiche dell'atmosfera solare. Il punto di massimo avvicinamento sarà raggiunto il 24 dicembre alle 12:53 ma la sonda tornerà a comunicare con la Terra solo dal 27 dicembre. La…

NASA solar probe to make its closest ever pass of sun

Of all the places to which humanity has sent an artifact, none is as extreme as the Sun. Neither the capsules submerged in the depths of the Marianas’ pit - where Mount Everest fits - nor the Voyager 1 and 2 probes that cross the unknown interstellar space have endured anything like what awaits Solar Parker Probe. On Christmas Eve, this NASA ship the size of a small car will reach its final goal: to enter the fiery atmosphere of our star until i…

De todos los lugares a los que la humanidad ha enviado un artefacto, ninguno es tan extremo como el Sol. Ni las cápsulas sumergidas en lo más profundo de la fosa de las Marianas -donde cabe el monte Everest- ni las sondas Voyager 1 y 2 que atraviesan el desconocido espacio interestelar han soportado nada parecido a lo que le espera a la Solar Parker Probe . El día de Nochebuena, esta nave de la NASA del tamaño de un pequeño automóvil alcanzará s…
