NASA's Parker Solar Probe (illustrated above) pierced the Sun's corona on April 28, 2021 (Credit: NASA.gov)

On December 14, 2021, NASA officials revealed that the Parker Solar Probe had successfully pierced through the Sun's outer atmosphere — the corona — and "touched" the star. The historical feat was achieved on April 28, 2021, during the spacecraft's eighth flyby, when it was about 8.1 million miles away from the star. The space probe spent five hours collecting magnetic and solar particle data from the Alfvén critical surface — the point that marks the end of the Sun's atmosphere.

    This is awesome! I never imagined that we could do something like this. What if they find a way to live on the Sun?

      That's not likely to happen. The sun is hotter than a 1000 volcanoes! And if you tried cooling it, we're all doomed!!!

        That would be insane if they figured out how to build a way to live on the Sun.

            I agree we could use giant mirrors as a solar sail and the sun's natural gravity could keep a floating city in orbit.

            That's kind of dangerous! But interesting!

              ok the probe has a heat shield so it doesnt burn or melt

                      That's not very amazing.......... What will we do after that? because it will not control the pollution of our world

                        The fact that we actually touched the Sun HAS to be amazing because everyone thought it was supposed to melt.
