Parker Probe's Final Venus Flyby Sets Stage for Sun Encounter

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set for its final flyby of Venus, using the planet's gravity to propel itself towards a record-breaking close encounter with the Sun. This maneuver will bring the probe within 233 miles of Venus and later within 3.86 million miles of the Sun, the closest any human-made object has come to the star. The mission, which has provided valuable data on Venus and the Sun, is scheduled to conclude in 2025.
