NASA's Parker Solar Probe has matched its own speed record of nearly 400,000 mph during its 20th close solar approach and is set to reach 430,000 mph later this year. The probe, designed to withstand extreme solar conditions, will come within 3.8 million miles of the sun's surface, providing valuable data on space weather that can impact Earth.
