The American space agency NASA says a spacecraft has entered the sun’s outermost atmosphere for the first time.

The Parker Solar Probe traveled through the solar atmosphere’s outer edge – known as the corona – in April, scientists announced this week. They said it took them a few months to examine data from the spacecraft and to confirm the result.

Unlike Earth, the sun does not have a solid surface. Instead, it is a superheated ball of material held together by gravity and magnetic forces.

Some solar material escapes and is released into space in what is known as the solar wind. The solar wind is the flow of charged particles, known as plasma, released from the corona into space.

The Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 with a main goal of studying the solar wind. Scientists say being able to study the solar wind and the corona close up can help them better understand how solar activity influences Earth.

NASA has described the spacecraft’s entry into the outermost atmosphere as successfully “touching” the sun.

Nour Raouafi is the project scientist on the mission. He is with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. Raouafi called the finding "fascinatingly exciting.”

The spacecraft is now able to sense conditions in the magnetically-influenced corona for the very first time, Raouafi said.

He added that the evidence used to confirm the findings included data on magnetic fields and the solar wind, as well as images. “We can actually see the spacecraft flying through coronal structures that can be observed during a total solar eclipse,” Raouafi said.

Scientists announced the findings during a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Results were also published by the American Physical Society.

The scientists reported Parker was about 13 million kilometers from the center of the sun when it crossed the boundary between the solar atmosphere and the solar wind. They said the spacecraft was able to go in and out of the corona at least three times.

The Parker team said early data also suggested the spacecraft may have entered the corona during its ninth close pass in August. But further study is needed to make a confirmation. The scientists said Parker made its 10th close pass last month.

The spacecraft is expected to keep getting closer to the sun and diving deeper into the corona until its final orbit, planned for 2025.

The whites always breaking boundaries

La hot

The whites always breaking boundaries

I was shocked when I saw this yesterday, we here are just shouting propagandas everytime why dont we progress so we can make our our propaganda.

That spacecraft reflects heat so it can't be burn by the sun, what more do humans want again, to inhabit sun

Africa was disrupted by colonization, Africa was civilized don't forget the great Benin empire but we abandoned all our traditions and cultures to follow West now we are starting from scratch

We Maybe others but not this country, I don't see why we have universities in this country and FG don't use them accordingly, universities are meant to be funded and fuel research.

how wish dem put person this time around so that he'll come back and give us testimony

corruption won't allow that corruption we copied from the West now we Don carry am for head the same tin with their religion

how wish dem put person inside so that he'll come back and give us testimony

Hahahaha, he no go make am at all even that spacecraft will eventually get toasted once the fuel powering it to always keep it's heat shield facing the sun is done.

Another thing I will like to point out is how do NASA eventually get that thing close to the sun since the sun is very very far away from earth.

This NASA guys have secret there are not telling us.

lol! toasted and roasted like the ghosted coast who boasted of been capable to host all the heavenly hosts but was sorted, voted and posted to the ocean and was no more

secret is never something to be told. what they know is their secret weapon never to be disclosed, and thats what make them different from us. unlike us where if you eventually succeed in building castle in the air every body must know how to do it

what sort of element is the space craft made of?

Nice one!

True shall but these guys are just so advance, bro I would never have believed they would carryout something like this. We really need to buckle up o.

Research it, but they mentioned something like carbon to carbon fiber for the heat shield.

The rest of the space craft is vulnerable to the heat but the heat shield protect them from the heat and they are constantly circulated by water. To cool them.

I am feeling lazy about researching dear, but if I'm to go by what you've said then its a nice innovative development!

Lies from the pit of hell

I can prove it

This happened a while ago, the space craft will come closer to the sun next time it enters the sun's orbit

This will hopefully resolve the question of what process makes the SUN☀️

Man keeps making new and interesting discoveries. And everything points to a higher being. U are not Alone.

God is great.

yea buckle up your shoe but find your size, no be all shoes go size us na.

Dem Don tire for Moon, now na sun them wan enter... After destroying the Ozone layer...

Civilized in what way?

Boss469:


Civilized in what way?

Go read about the Benin empire it was ahead of most cities in the world at time

And Nigeria is still talking abt cattle route

0Tolu0:


Non of these points to a higher being.

Ok it points to u on earth sleeping, eating and drinking? Lol

U don’t need to look too far or even go the the sun or mars to know there’s a high being. Be it alien or God himself. It cannot be all about or revolve around u here on earth doing inconsequential things like drinking beer and eating pork meat.

But it was not a civilized kingdom pls

Boss469:


But it was not a civilized kingdom pls

Jesus Christ this guy, did you know there was no crime in the Benin Empire at the same time the streets of London was filled with criminals and thugs, they had street lights powered with palm oil, their art works was stunning for it's time,wat is civilization to you?

Hope say no be lamba sha.
