Parker Solar Probe [PDF ebook] 
Touching the Sun

Life on Earth could not exist without the Sun. The Parker Solar Probe will help scientists learn about our solar system’s only star. Using Venus gravity like a slingshot, over seven years the Parker Solar Probe will orbit closer to the Sun than ever before. Eventually it will encounter supersonic solar winds and fly through high-energy particles while withstanding intense heat. What will the Parker Solar Probe tell us about how the Sun s energy and heat affect Earth?
