For the first time in history, a NASA spacecraft has reached the closest point to the Sun. Scientists have claimed that the “Parker Solar Probe” sent on a mission to the Sun has passed very close to the Sun.
American space agency NASA’s ‘The Parker Solar Probe’ spacecraft has reached very close to the Sun. It is being said that this aircraft has successfully passed from a distance of about 61 lakh kilometers from the surface of the Sun. However, it is not known whether it is safe after this or not. If it succeeds in returning safely, a new history is sure to be written on the Sun.
Let us tell you that this spacecraft coming near the Sun is of the size of a small car. It has become the first human object to pass closest to the Sun. Let us tell you that while passing close to the Sun, the speed of the vehicle has been recorded at 6.90 lakh kilometers per hour. As the Sun is getting closer, the excitement of scientists has increased manifold. He is keeping a close eye on this and waiting for more information.
No human object has ever come this close to the Sun.
Till date no man-made object has come so close to the Sun. In such a situation, after the excitement among scientists, there is also concern about whether the spacecraft will be able to return alive after reaching so close to the Sun. Because there has been no further update about the spacecraft since it passed close to the Sun’s surface.
What does NASA have to say?
According to Nicola Fox, Associate Administrator of NASA’s Mission Directorate, the Parker spacecraft has completed the work for which it was sent. If everything goes well, he will give us some clues by December 27. Only then will it be known whether he is alive or got destroyed by burning in the fire of the sun.
Parker took many photos of the spacecraft
The Parker spacecraft also took several photographs during its closest approach to the Sun, which will be available to scientists in January, according to Noor Rawfi, the mission’s project scientist. The status will be updated after Parker departs from the Suns. According to scientists, this is the first man-made object to pass so close to the Sun.
