NASA's Parker Solar Probe gets very close to the Sun for the first time.
Reading
NASA's Parker Solar Probe went closer to the sun than anything else before. This happened earlier this week, and NASA just got a message that the probe is okay.
The probe was launched in 2018 to study the sun up close. It went right through the sun's outer layer, called the corona.
Parker will keep going around the sun at this close distance for a while. It's expected to stay in this orbit until at least September.
This spacecraft is the fastest one ever made by humans. It went super fast, reaching a speed of 430,000 mph!
Parker has a special shield to protect it from the sun's heat. Scientists hope the information from Parker will help them understand the sun better.
