NASA's Parker Solar probe to make historic closest approach to the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, is set to make a record-breaking approach to the sun, flying within 3.8 million miles of its surface. This mission aims to explore the sun's corona and understand solar phenomena, while the spacecraft reaches speeds of 430,000 mph. Scientists hope to uncover the reasons behind the corona's extreme temperatures and solar wind dynamics.

Potential presence of primitive lunar mantle materials on Chandrayaan-3 landing site: Study

Chandrayaan-3's landing site revealed high sulphur levels, suggesting presence of primitive lunar mantle materials from the South Pole-Aitken basin's formation 4.3 billion years ago, offering insights into early lunar evolution and composition.
