SOME SPACECRAFT LIKE IT HOT: NASA's Parker Solar Probe is now closer to the sun than any other spacecraft in history. The heat-resistant spacecraft broke the previous record yesterday when it hurtled across the orbit of Mercury faster than 150,000 mph. At closest approach on Nov. 5th, Parker's cameras and other sensors will examine the sun like never before. Visit Spaceweather.com for the full story.
