NASA's Parker Solar Probe to pass Venus on record-breaking approach to the sun
NASA is gearing up for its Parker Solar Probe to do a final flyby of Venus on Wednesday on its way to making history as the closest any human-made object has ever been to the sun. Parker will use the planet's gravity to alter its speed and direction so that it can enter its final orbit around the sun and break its own record,
