🌞The outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, the corona, is much hotter than the photosphere, the Sun's surface.
🚀The Parker Solar Probe achieved a record-breaking flight to gather information on the Sun's magnetic fields and charged particles in the corona.
🛰️The spacecraft's innovative heat shield, made of carbon foam and carbon-carbon composite, protects it from extreme temperatures.
🔥The Parker Solar Probe completed multiple gravity assists with Venus to reduce its orbital velocity and get closer to the Sun.
💡Advancements in fusion power, such as the ITER project, hold the potential for unlimited clean energy by recreating the Sun's fusion process.
