MISSION TO THE STAR | THE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF PARKER SOLAR PROBE TO THE SUN
In August 2018, a spacecraft named Parker Solar Probe was built with a noble purpose of reaching the Sun' outermost atmosphere - The Corona for us to understand how it affects life in the solar system. Space exploration is the only way to educate students about the importance of understanding t...
