missions related to the Sun

NASA has conducted various missions related to the Sun to study its behavior, structure, and effects on space weather. One notable mission is the Parker Solar Probe, launched in August 2018. Its primary goal is to approach the Sun closer than any previous spacecraft, entering the Sun's corona to study its outer atmosphere, solar wind, and magnetic fields. The data gathered from the Parker Solar Probe helps scientists better understand the Sun's activity and its impact on Earth's space environment.
