Video of NASA's probe "touching the Sun"

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has "touched" the Sun, and in addition to its amazing performance, it has also collected important data about its environment. 

The Parker spacecraft has already been sending back some interesting information, but the image just released may be even better. The spacecraft was launched in August 2018 by NASA to collect scientific data on the Sun's atmosphere. This was the eighth time the solar probe has flown close to the Sun, but measurements show that this is the first time it has come so close dareto reach and even cross the so-called Alfvén surface, which separates the Sun's atmosphere from the outer region of space.

NASA has now published a selection of images of the extraordinary event, and the probe will not stop working after this, and will next fly into the Sun's corona in January 2022.

But this is not the only exciting thing happening at NASA. Current plans are for the space agency to launch a new launches the most advanced and expensive space telescope in the world, the James Webb Space Telescope. The spacecraft's main scientific mission is to use infrared light to study previously inaccessible distant celestial objects, including the cosmos, planets and moons within the Solar System, and the oldest and most distant galaxies.
