Parker Solar Probe, Touching the Sun’s Fiery Corona
<p>The Sun, our nearest star, is an enigma with its corona, the outermost layer, reaching staggering temperatures of <strong>500,000 degrees Celsius</strong>. This scorching region was first encountered by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. It is not in a fictional narrative but through a groundbreaking mission that commenced on 12 August 2018.</p>
<p>Contrary to the imaginative depiction in the film “Sunshine,” where a crew led by Cillian Murphy embarks on a mission to revive a dimming Sun, the reality of space exploration is grounded in scientific rigour. The movie’s spacecraft, shielded by a layer of gold, is a dramatic simplification. Gold, while reflective, offers no defence against the Sun’s formidable tidal forces and radiation.</p>
