The Parker Solar Probe is a NASA spacecraft launched in 2018 to study the outer corona of the Sun, with a closest approach of 6.1 million km from the surface in December 2024. It has broken the record for the fastest object built on Earth, reaching a speed of 690,000 km/h or 191 km/s. The spacecraft was designed and built by Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and was named after physicist Eugene Newman Parker. It has completed multiple gravity assists from Venus and is expected to continue making observations until at least 2025.learn more on wikipedia
