We Are Sending a Probe into the Sun

The video discusses NASA's Solar Probe Plus mission, which aims to explore the sun's corona to solve the mystery of its high temperatures compared to the sun's surface. The probe will use Venus's gravity to orbit the sun 24 times, getting closer with each pass. It will collect data on particles and solar winds, helping scientists understand the corona's dynamics and improve solar wind forecasting. The probe is equipped with a heat shield and solar arrays to withstand extreme conditions. The mission's findings could enhance future deep space explorations.
