NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has successfully completed its second close flyby of the sun, the space agency announced earlier this week.
The car-sized spacecraft swooped within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the sun’s surface at a whopping 430,000 miles per hour (692,000 kilometers per hour), matching the historic record it set during its encounter on Christmas Eve last year.
