Man to visit the Sun
NASA set to make first visit into the sun
The glowing giant star which is know to be the main source of energy for the sun has remained a mystery to explore for long due to its very high surface temperature which is capable of causing any object close to it to evaporate even at over a thousand kilometer from it.
The Sun which has a very high temperature of about a million degree Celsius at the core. This has made it highly impossible for man to explore the sun even after many attempts
Fortunately enough,NASA has finally announced that a spacecraft is to be laughed at august this year for the exploration of the sun.
The spacecraft will carry along a superheated panel that will help it to withstand the heat from the sun.
This panel is the result of a 60 years old project by NASA. The panel is capable of heating up to about 1370°C and still maintain the inner part of it at a constant temperature of 29°C.
The spacecraft named Parker Solar Probe will be the closet thing to the sun from the earth and will explore the corona of the glowing star.
Meanwhile, online registration is going on for volunteers who wants to be on the spacecraft to explore the sun together.
....questions are highly entertained in the comment session.
