- NASA’s Parker Solar Probe just broke the record for the closest we’ve EVER been to the sun.
And because of the sun’s gravity, it’s also become the fastest man-made object ever. Here's what it's doing and why it's so important...
I can’t wait to see what data it sends back. To stay updated on optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for more of our show Huge If True.

It is outstanding that human beings can accomplish this!!!
We need the DART armada now since we can have a Nuke armada and we know that dart works against asteroids I'm surprised we don't start that for protection :0
IKR!?!?!
We have infinite potential. Eventually we'll rule solar systems and galaxies. Human intelligence, creativity, and adaptability are extremely powerful if focused.
And yet can't make a accurate animation in scale for it 😂😂😂

Do you even read yourself, pal?
Fun fact: It was launched on August 12, 2018. And for those wondering how it managed to get that speed, it went through a series or roundabouts around the sun, passing near Venus, using its gravity.
For those who miss the "Fun" of this comment: It was slowed down to pass that fast and close to the sun.
@@0800surferYes
The closer the probe Will move towards the sun the slower it would be
The farther the faster
Yet another English invention that has made it in places other than Earth.
First it was English speaking aliens, now it's roundabouts. Such a great invention, that the Sun and Venus use them😂
The funny thing is that i heard that i launch in 2018 and the said it wil take an minimum of 5 years to get some info about the sun soo i have been waiting for this moment for an long time haha
"You are probably wondering how it doesn't melt"
Nah, I just assumed they only sent it by at night.
LMFAO
Is there night in space ?😂😂😂
welcome back einstein😂🙌🏽
Brilliant!!!!

*Revelation 3:20*
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
HEY THERE 🤗 JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY. Turn away from your sins, confess, forsake them and live the victorious life. God bless.
*Revelation 22:12-14*
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
"Ok, I'm a probe and I get really close to the sun."
"You'd melt."
"Nuh-uh. I have, uhm... a shield."
Average DND session...
I want to once again remind people that the invention of the Airplane was only about 5 Generation ago (if we go by about 25y per generation). Tech developed crazy fast in the last 100 years, its remarkable.
I would also like to reminds people that Homo-Erecuts was around for 150,000 years and never once developed any thing near this as far as we know. Homo-sapiens had to reach double that time at 300,000 years of cumulative knowledge to get where we are.
People used to think technology had a hard limit. Back in the 1960's, someone, I don't remember who, stated that technology had reached its limit.
Now we know technology advances exponentially.
I love being alive, wish I could live longer just to see the advances humans will make.
@txlady1049 really looking forward to the next 50 years, with the rate its going who knows where we go next
A generation is 30 years. Except in Alabama where it is well under 15, mainly due to being able to marry your sister cousin.
It took several centuries from the invention of the wheel to the first automobile, but only 66 years from the first flight to the moon landing.
Interesting how fast war, even a cold one, can push technology advancement.
The fact that 6.1 Gm from the surface is within the sun's atmosphere just puts the size into perspective 😮
You just wanted to flex the word giga meters didnt you😂
I have never heard of anyone using giga-meters before
praise all the mathematicians behind these slingshot maneuvers
i studies orbital mechanics in college. oh god is that some wild math
AI simulations and calculations. From which time period are you?
AI, as the name suggests, is Artificial. There are people who built the foundation of mathematics for years and continue to do so, on whose shoulders we have built these innovations
@ Yeah AI came to us magicaly
@@dntking40 ah yes. "Ai"
What have we come far as a species and what a time to be alive 🎉
Agreed.
guess you wont be alive for mars colonisation
@misterpotato427
To everyone in this chat, *Jesus is calling you today!*
Repent and turn away from your sins today to obtain eternal salvation🤗
Neither would you @@blazedreality
It's still closer than you think though, we can almost reuse rockets, so cheaper to get there @@nogodmanish5983
I put the name of my mother on it who passed away a couple of years ago. Miss you mom.
Sorry for your loss
Dude if this is true that’s so badass and rip mom I love you
rip to the manhole cover being 1st place 😔
Lol
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the nuclear manhole cover most likely burned up in the atmosphere, and didn't bonk an alien.
I am so sick of that meme...
You can never forget about the manhole cover lol
One small step for man(hole-cover) one giant leap for man kind
I put the names of my (then little) nieces and nephews on the chip that’s in the probe. That was nice of NASA. Now it’s the fastest thing humans have ever made
My name is on there too. It took a few years, but we made it 🥳
How did you both go about doing this?
Sun - "How cute, you brought a little heat shield with you"
One step closer to the sun station
Dyson spheres are the end goal, imaging never having to worry about power again and not having to mine up the whole earth just to make it because we will mine the metals from asteroids then send the products back into space.
Thank you for also putting standard measurements (mph)on the screen as well! My brain doesn’t work in metric unfortunately
Those pics are surreal
And yet we have a disturbingly large amount of people thinking the world is flat. 😂😂😂
I mean seriously, im all for scepticism, but its fkn hilarious.
Shields up!
Deflectors at maximum.
Helm, take us in.
So its basically entered the equivalent of the atmosphere!? That's amazing!
Missed opportunity to have named it Icarus
oohhhh true that would have been cool. maybe they didnt want to tempt fate and have the heat shield not work lol
@Leoric. Very fair 😆☀️🛡️🔥
It wouldn't have made sense
India's aditya-L1 also survived and placed at halo Lagrange Point 1. 😅
I love the enthusiasm and positivity. We need that!
The Parker Solar probe moving at 692,000 kph means its only traveling 0.00056% the speed of light.
Insane we can't even reach 1%
Love being part of the HUGE if True community!
Oh how flerfers will love this. They already think rockets should melt in the van allen belt.
I love that unlike every other channel out there, you make optimistic content and it really gives me hope on bad days thank you for your work!
At 3.8 million miles from the surface of the Sun, the probe is not as close as shown in the video. It needs to be four diameters away from the surface of the Sun not on top of it.
And there are people out there who don't believe science...while they talk on their cell phone
I hope you're going to cover that other story about how it doesn't melt!! Love your work.
You know young lady, your videos are amazing. Not only are they very informative, you present the subject with such infectious enthusiasm that I can not help but watch. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out.
Wait noooo!!! I liked the fastest thing being the manhole cover!
That's never been proven
Never was
That’s a heat shield, its not a manhole cover
@@RikkiSan1 Yes is was, and stop being a dunce. You can easily calculate the speed of an object by its own mass calculated against the force of the blast. End of story.
@SlushiePlayer When we were first nuclear testing, we made the fastest man made object on accident. There is no proof it got to space before burning up, but it was the fastest till now. We welded a standard steal manhole cover over a hole with a nuke in it and set it off. That manhole will always be an icon the duality of man.
The sun's corona is hotter than the surface. If the probe can survive the corona, it should survive touching the actual surface.
What a time to be alive!
Theoretically of course but it could also cause some major problems and blow up the sun or something….. we cant even make it to mars i dont think we should be trying to go inside the sun
NASA-
The corona through which Parker Solar Probe flies, for example, has an extremely high temperature but very low density. Think of the difference between putting your hand in a hot oven versus putting it in a pot of boiling water (don’t try this at home!) - in the oven, your hand can withstand significantly hotter temperatures for longer than in the water where it has to interact with many more particles. Similarly, compared to the visible surface of the Sun, the corona is less dense, so the spacecraft interacts with fewer hot particles and doesn’t receive as much heat.
That means that while Parker Solar Probe will be traveling through a space with temperatures of several million degrees, the surface of the heat shield that faces the Sun will only get heated to about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,400 degrees Celsius).
@haziquniverse I absolutely love the analogy. I never actually thought of it that way. Thank you for sharing that.
No. The corona may be very hot but it is very rarefied so it contains little heat per cubic metre. The phoosphere may only be at 5800 deg C but it is much denser and therefore conains far more heat. The probe wuld be fried instantly before it got anywhere near the photosphere.
@@haziquniverse That's super interesting! Thank you.
you didn't mention that it got closer to the sun with multiple venus gravity asists
thats why the continues spiraling.
which is, in my opinnion, the most impressive and mental part of that mission
It never fails to amaze me how this channel almost always talks about the thing i literally just learned in my astronomy class the week prior (this week it was the sun) really is great for me to hear these terms and know what they mean
“Fastest man made object ever” the manhole flying through space “Am I a joke to you”
That’s just insanely cool
It's actually insanely hot.
The passion of space exploration in her eyes is legit happiness .
Are we able to measure any time dilation effects from the probe being so close to the sun?
That’s a hot topic 😊
There's something so surreal about watching the video form the probe. I can literally imagine what it would be like to visualise it in person it's absolutely crazy.
Nah, the fastest object is that one nuclear manhole cover
Not anymore
It can also probably hear the sun scream.
It's an amazing achievement considering the temperature on the sun's surface.
The sun's surface, the photosphere, is the coolest part of the sun. The sun's corona, the upper atmosphere, is much hotter by more than a million degrees
The manhole cover has been dethroned
🎉😂CLEO,DOES THAT XOLAIN WHY IT SEEMS SOOOO KOLD THIS YEAR? WISHING YOU A GREAT YEAR OF KEEPIN US INFORMED N XCITED😮😅😂🎉😂😅😊😊🎉
Give me that shield and I will be the first man on the sun
The thermal gradient must be insane on the parts exposed to the sun vs the ones in the shade. Wow.
That is super amazing. I would love to hear more about this probe.
I love this channel and that you keep that sense of wonder about what amazing things we've accomplished in and through science alive. 💜
ISRO is working on it too
Bro.. Idhar bejjati mat karo
It says hot, hot, hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow your videos gets better and better each time!
I love your reports…thank you!
It's one thing to create a heat shield that can withstand extreme temperatures, it's another to make one that can sustain *prolonged exposure* to those temperature.
Hey Cleo you should do a medical tech collab with Johnathan Morrison! You’re all about positive tech stories, his whole thing right now is tech but human, and it could be a cool chance for him to share his medical story! Just an idea love the channel :)
It is insane. Like, this is on the edge of material science.
Amazing it stays together with all that neat and crazy speed.
Thank you, Cleo 😊
Wow. I love your new york to london example. "Fastest" is so vague without a point of reference
Born too late to be the first on the moon, born to early to leave the system. But at least I'm here to see cool stuff like this
Pretty sure I know a manhole cover that's faster 😂😂😂
Can you please make a video about stars and constellations theyre the coolest!!!! ❤
Is it orbiting at that distance or will it fall into the sun?
Orbiting is falling. Eventually it'll fall into the sun
It's not a stable orbit. passing that close to the sun slows it down, so it might orbit a few more times and then crash into the sun forever
I would love to know how much relativity affects it. Like how different the time passes for the probe, how this impact the communication and etc.
Ok but the fact that we have video of the sun like that is absolutely insane. That feels like something we shouldn't have, so magical
Thanks for providing interested news
We got NASA Before GTA 6 💀
That’s f’in awesome!! Thank goodness we have smart people in this world.
Can't believe it finally beat that one manhole cover
It SURVIVED its first run??!!! That’s insane. I’m always astonished even though they have s track record of banning things outlast their expectancy, like the Mars rovers, but this is a whole other level.
It is really absured to see this video 2 days after my test contained couple of questions about this
What it sends back next message. 'Dear NASA. I wanna come HHHHOOOMMEEEE! The Sun is extremely hostile with me, blows hot and hotter in my direction, and on the surface she seems unstable as she regularly flings fiery crap everywhere in every direction. She's fried several things already and I think I may be ne.......ffzzzttt ppttsshhhhhhhhhhh'
I love your channel more on that shield please
we’ve finally recreated the outer wilds sun station
This is amazing how far humanity is getting
That is so incredible!!! The data will be incredible I bet!
POV: you’re trying to land on the sun station in outer wilds and can’t get it to work.
Finally!!
A true optimistic space news! 🥰
Need full vid!!!!!!
Woah! Even faster than the manhole cover?
Yep! Although it’s hard to say the actual speed of the manhole cover, since it was only in 1 frame and likely didn’t make it out of the atmosphere before being vaporized.
Can’t wait for update
It may seem like the parker probe flew extremely close, but you can still fit 4 of our suns between the distance the probe flew to the sun
Can we call it heliobraking?
That’s some kerbal space program terminology, I swear 😂
That's wild. The science that figured this out boggles my mind.
Please a video of the heat shield!!!
This reminds me of that film called Sunshine.
“But would you melt?”
“Nah, i’d gather intel 🗿”
Satellite is havin sun bath literally ☠️💀
Just seeing the display of the Sun ejecting magnetized particles away towards the Earth, makes me thank God, we have protection.
I would love to see video on this
and it just says back that it's just a little warm
For those wondering, for the heat shield they just make the side facing the sun out of pineapple skin 🤷♂️
the fact that the sun in this video is brighter than the actual one is diabolical. also the space thing did a good job.
Coronal mass ejection = star rubbing one out
Bro got the shield from Minecraft
Awesome.
You rock Cleo
Glad I've played Outer Wilds. Reminds me of Sun Station 😂
Now we have to get the hotshot achievement irl
That’s almost 600 times the speed of sound! 🤯
Absolutely brilliant. ❤
_"Nah, I'd win."_
-the probe, probably
And we have WAR and everything here..We all r so small comparing to the whole SHIT..Lets just say that
I can't imagine what kind of data the little guy is expected to collect. I really hope it's more than "Solar flares are hot. and deadly"
