Explore the challenges of Parker Solar Probe’s mission to touch the Sun, and what we could learn about the star as we get closer. -- In 2021, the Parker Solar Probe achieved its mission to touch the Sun, skimming through its outermost atmosphere. Since then, it’s carved closer and closer paths, but probing deeper into the corona— without melting, exploding, or falling into the Sun— is a monumental engineering challenge. Is it possible? Explore the obstacles of the mission and how it could unlock the mysteries of our star. Directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio. A special thanks to Doug Willard and Christina Cohen who provided information and insights for the development of this video.
