The Parker Solar Probe is safe and functioning normally after completing the closest-ever pass of the Sun by any human-made object, Nasa has announced.
The daring spacecraft flew just 3.8million miles (6.1mkm) from the Sun’s surface, and into the outer atmosphere, on 24 December.
That might sound like a lot, but it’s a stone’s throw given that the Sun is 91.4 million miles from Earth.
Nasa launched Parker back in 2018 to examine our local star, in hopes it would reveal more about solar activity.
The nail-biting mission took the Parker probe out of communications range with experts on Earth.
The operations team at the Johns Hopkins University applied physics laboratory in Maryland received the signal from the probe shortly before midnight on Thursday.
