Since it launched, the Parker Solar Probe has changed how we understand the Sun by flying closer to it than any other spacecraft. It has gathered important new information about the Sun’s outer atmosphere (called the corona) and the solar wind during different stages of the Sun’s activity cycle. After completing 24 close orbits, the spacecraft has collected a huge amount of data that helps explain how the corona heats up, how the solar wind speeds up, how particles gain energy, and what causes space weather. These discoveries have advanced space science and captured the interest of both researchers and the public. The spacecraft and its instruments are still working perfectly, and as the Sun’s activity slows down, we expect even more exciting findings. This talk will review Parker’s major achievements so far and look ahead to the new science we hope to uncover as we continue exploring our star’s complex behavior.
