NASA's Parker Solar Probe Breaks Speed Record, Reaching Mind-Blowing 635,266kmph!
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has broken the record for the fastest human-made object, reaching a speed of 394,736 mph (635,266 km/h) as it flew close to the sun's surface. It also set a new distance record, coming within 4.51 million miles (7.26 million km) of the solar surface. The probe's flybys of Venus have helped it achieve these records by using the planet's gravity to gain speed and get closer to the sun. The Parker Solar Probe's mission is to study the sun's corona and improve our understanding of space weather.
