The Parker Solar Probe flies through the sun’s outer atmosphere behind a carbon shield eleven and a half centimetres thick, and the arrangement works so well that while the front face glows at almost fourteen hundred degrees, the instruments sitting a metre behind it stay at roughly the temperature of a comfortable living room
At its closest approaches, Parker Solar Probe passes about 6.2 million kilometres above the Sun’s visible surface. Sunlight…
