NASA's Parker Solar Probe is expected to make a fiery dive close to the solar surface on the morning of Christmas Eve.
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.
Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.
The daring NASA spacecraft made its closest-ever approach to the sun at 6:53 a.m. EST (1153 GMT) on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24).
