CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is now closer to the sun than any spacecraft has ever gotten.
佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角-美国宇航局的太阳探测器帕克现在比任何航天器都更接近太阳。
Parker on Monday surpassed the record of 26.6 million miles set by Helios-2 back in 1976. And it will keep getting closer to the sun until it flies through the corona, or outer atmosphere, for the first time next week, passing within 15 million miles of the solar surface.
帕克在周一打破了1976年由赫利奥斯2号探测器创造的和太阳相距2660万英里的记录。它将继续靠近太阳，直到下周它将首次穿过日冕或外部大气层，经过距离太阳表面1500万英里内的地方。
Parker will make 24 close approaches to the sun over the next seven years, ultimately coming within just 3.8 million miles.
帕克将在未来7年里对太阳进行24次近距离观测，最终和太阳仅相距380万英里。
Launched in August, Parker is on track to set another record late Monday night. It will surpass Helios-2’s speed record of 153,454 miles per hour, relative to the sun.
帕克于8月发射，有望在周一晚些时候再创造一项纪录。它将超过赫利奥斯2号探测器创下的相对太阳153,454英里每小时的运动速度记录。
