Future Space
NASA did something absolutely mind-blowing—they sent a spacecraft straight into the Sun’s atmosphere, and it actually survived! The Parker Solar Probe became the first human-made object to touch the Sun, diving through its scorching outer layer, the corona. Scientists designed it with an ultra-powerful heat shield to withstand temperatures over 2,500°F (1,377°C). As it swooped through, it collected data on solar winds and charged particles, helping us understand how the Sun affects space weather. This could one day help protect satellites, astronauts, and even power grids on Earth from dangerous solar storms. The fact that a tiny spacecraft made it through the Sun’s fury and kept sending back data is just crazy—and it’s only getting closer!
