Nearest Point To Venus

 On January 17, the Parker probe was close to the sun at a distance of about 8.4 million miles, after that they launched about forty spacecraft and telescopes to help them observe the sun and the solar system.

On February 20, the Parker probe passed over the surface of the planet Venus by curving around it and thus the planet's gravity will help it bring it closer to the sun by increasing its speed, and this was the fourth of seven aids from the planet's gravity.

 April 29, was the first time for touching the sun at a region called Perihelion with distance 6.5 million miles away from the sun with speed exceeded 330,000 miles/hour.

On April 25, at the Johns Hopkins Laboratory, they received a notification that data on the solar environment and the solar wind had been collected, and that the collection would remain running until May 4.

May 15, the maneuver took about 39 seconds and changed speed by 91 centimeters per second (two miles per hour).

On June 2, they discovered diverse kinetic and magnetohydrodynamic, aspects of plasma such as wave-particle interaction, magnetic field and turbulence, pertinent to the heating and acceleration of the solar wind.

On August 13, the solar probe reached the same distance and speed as he had traveled on April 29.

On October 16, the probe was moving about 15 miles per second and was 2,370 miles away from the surface of Venus, and this was the fifth of seven revolutions.

On November 21, at new record speeds, it was able to transfer it from the Earth to the Moon in about an hour, completing its tenth cycle, and it was 5.3 million miles from the surface of the Sun.
