Parker Solar Probe to Capture Rare Venus Surface View Before Sun Mission

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set to make its seventh and final flyby of Venus on November 6, using the planet's gravity to adjust its trajectory for a historic close approach to the sun. This maneuver will bring the probe within 3.8 million miles of the sun's surface, the closest any human-made object has come. During its Venus flybys, the probe has also gathered valuable data about the planet's surface, revealing features through its dense clouds. The mission aims to uncover mysteries about the sun's corona and solar dynamics.
