Newslink: NASA's Parker Solar Probe Makes 2nd Daring Flyby of the Sun

in #newslink6 years ago

NASA's record-breaking solar mission silently completed another close pass of the sun yesterday (April 4).

The maneuver, called a perihelion, resulted in a closest approach at 6:40 p.m. EDT (2240 GMT) yesterday, when the Parker Solar Probe was about 15 million miles (24 million kilometers) above the surface of the sun. That's about the same distance as the spacecraft reached on Nov. 5, 2018, during its first perihelion.
