Despite the progress of modern science, many of its secrets remain locked away, particularly the mysteries of its outer atmosphere, the corona. NASA's Parker Solar Probe's record-breaking journey to within 3.8 million miles of the Sun marks a monumental step toward unravelling these enigmas, demonstrating both technological prowess and the enduring human drive to explore the unknown.
One of the mission's most intriguing aspects is its focus on the corona, a region hotter than the Sun's surface itself. While the Sun's surface temperature is about 6,000°C, the corona can reach millions of degrees. This counterintuitive phenomenon, where a region farther from the Sun's core is exponentially hotter, has perplexed scientists for decades.
