NASA's 'Parker' Probe Plunges into Sun's Atmosphere

NASA's 'Parker' probe has plunged into the Sun's atmosphere. On December 24, it approached the star at a record distance of 6 million km, reaching a mind-boggling speed of 690,000 km/h - 192 km/s. After this, the device fell silent but later re-established contact and was in full working order.
