I was just watching a video of the sun from the Parker Probe and it reminded me that in 2018 I applied for my name is included on a memory card carried within the probe. It makes me happy knowing my name is so close to the sun.

Mankind's fastest human-made object have reached the star for the first time and survived in this historic flyby to one of our solar system's celestial body.

not 100% sure but isn't 690,000 mph >0.1%c? #ParkerProbe

Just decoded NASA's latest sun mission data: They're flying a probe through 2500°F heat at 430k mph... but won't tell us why the corona's hotter than the surface. 🤔 What classified quantum tech are they really testing in that 'solar wind' cover story? #ParkerProbe

Massive Solar Eruption Blasts NASA Probe Head-On Before Impacting Earth - A massive eruption of solar material, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, was detected escaping from the Sun at 11:36 p.m. EDT on March 12, 2023.
The CME erupted from the side of the Sun opposite Earth. While researchers are still gathering data to determine the source of the eruption, it is currently believed that the CME came from former active region AR3234. https://scitechdaily.com/massive-solar-eruption-blasts-nasa-probe-head-on-before-impacting-earth/ #SolarFlare #ParkerProbe #CME
