Another daring dive by the Sun, complete! 🛰️☀️✅ On Thursday, June 19, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 24th close approach to the Sun. The spacecraft matched its record distance of 3.8 million miles (about 6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface — and a mind-melting top speed of 430,000 miles per hour (about 692,000 kilometers per hour).

In its 10 years observing the Sun, our Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite has gathered over 425 million high-resolution images of our star. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 1
