Показать описание
One year after the Parker Solar Probe left Earth forever for a date with the sun, the spacecraft is having a fantastic run. The mission, named after University of Chicago Professor Eugene Parker to honor his decades of work which shaped the field of heliophysics, has already come closer to the sun than any spacecraft ever has—and continues to gradually make its way closer.

Prof. Parker traveled to watch the spacecraft launch in Cape Canaveral on Aug. 12, 2018, witnessing his first-ever rocket launch. “So much has gone into this launch, and then to see it all disappear slowly—fading away into the night sky, knowing it will never come back—it was a moving experience,” he said. Since then, Parker has been receiving updates on the mission from its scientists. He sat down with NASA's Nicky Fox to get an update on the mission's progress.

RIP to an incredible man that I had the pleasure to be around frequently later in his life. He was so knowledgeable and taught me many things about physics.

I wish he could stay alive long enough to oversee his accomplishments

it’s so beautiful and sad to watch the spacecraft fly away from its home for the first and last time to go see a whole other part of this solar system. Somewhere we’ve never been before... a little piece of us

Hope in Parker flies right through the sun and pops out on the other side . then not only would you be rewriting text books but also be rewriting you
