  • 7 years ago
We are about to learn a lot more about the sun. Nasa scientists gave a sneak peek of the Parker Solar Probe, which will soon "touch the sun" to help researchers understand why the sun's atmosphere is hotter than its surface. The aircraft will have to survive temperatures as high as 2,500°F. The probe is due for launch on July 2018.
