EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the essence of a groundbreaking mission that will take us closer to our Sun than ever before. The Solar Probe, depicted in this illustration, represents an early version of what is now known as Solar Probe Plus - a joint endeavor between NASA and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Scheduled for launch in 2018, this unmanned spacecraft will embark on an unprecedented journey towards the heart of our solar system. Equipped with a specially designed solar shield for protection, it will venture within a mere 6 million kilometers of the scorching solar surface. The image showcases intricate details of the Sun's photosphere, revealing mesmerizing coronal loops and prominences dancing across its fiery atmosphere. It serves as a reminder of the immense power and beauty that lies at the center of our universe. With its futuristic design and advanced technology, this machine represents humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within our celestial neighbor. This ambitious mission holds great promise for advancing our understanding of astrophysics and unlocking crucial insights into the workings of stars. Lynette Cook's artistic interpretation not only captures scientific accuracy but also evokes awe-inspiring wonderment. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that human curiosity knows no bounds when it comes to exploring uncharted territories beyond Earth's boundaries.
