Scroll down for videoNASA’s Parker Solar Probe has survived yet another blisteringly close approach to the sun. The Parker probe, roughly the size of a family hatchback, has come closer to the sun than any other man-made object. 'Parker Solar Probe is providing us with the measurements essential to understanding solar phenomena that have been puzzling us for decades,' said Nour Raouafi, Parker Solar Probe project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Maryland. The Parker Solar Probe will ultimately complete a total of 24 planned orbits over the next seven years, bringing it closer and closer to the surface.
