Fox News
A NASA spacecraft has officially “touched” the sun after it plunged into the unexplored solar atmosphere known as the corona, traveling hundreds of miles over five hours.
The Parker Solar Probe actually flew through the corona in April during the spacecraft’s eighth close approach to the sun. Scientists said it took a few months to get the data back and then several more months to confirm.
"Fascinatingly exciting," said project scientist Nour Raouafi of Johns Hopkins University.
