How do you touch the sun without burning your fingers? Claire Reilly takes a look at NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and what it can teach us about solar wind, the sun’s corona and the northern lights.

Great
She’s great! Hope to see her doing the Apple Core show. 😅😅😅😅😅
👍👍👍 😁
You pretty thing
Good luck
Fantastic and informative video Clair, with a lovely touch of humour. If they went at night time could they get much closer 😂😂 ( don’t groan someone had to say it )
I too have an active heat-seeking probe awaiting launch (it’s currently engaging in preliminary preparatory pulsed power-ups during the lead up to countdown) and it carries a huge load of heat transference material that will deploy at a critical stage (usually long, long, long after orbital insertion…like by as much as 30s while operating on an Expedited approach). For the Delayed approach, deployment of heat transference material could drag on for quite some time…possibly as far out as 2m after orbital insertion. The massively different timeframes associated with the two different approaches are due to a last minute mission change whereby the hydrocarbon shielding that protects the probe is slated to be used only with the Delayed approach. That means the Expedited approach will not make use of any sheilding whatsoever during insertion. It comes with higher risk, but vital information can be learned from what mission control calls ‘barebacking’. In that approach, deployment of the heat transference material should happen well before the 30s mark (which is really an unreasonable mark and pretty much an eternity under such mission conditions).
For the delayed approach, the 2m mark is equally unlikely to be in play. The shielding should definitely help, but deployment happening any time around 50s-60s will be considered a real success and, organizationally, is totally deserving of putting smiles on all the faces of people involved regardless of the capacity served in carrying out this mission.
She is good.…
Love this format, more aussies !!
A raw flame, a live wire!
😎 keep making videos like this…
You deserve more views! Feels very futuristic / Disney-esque presentation.. as if I was getting an infomercial for new planets to visit. A+ host.
Awesome Simpsons reference

agencia espacial é demais gosto todos os videos queria trabalhar lá.
Love the show
Look very sweet
1:21 Spiderman in 50 years. Parker wishes he could still shoot a web over that woman’s mouth.
Uhh ok…, but I’m here after the success of that man “Parker”.
